Hey guys, I've come into a bit of a quandry. I needed to download a manual for my watch as I had lost the original. As I have my system set up once I had downloaded the pdf my pdfviewer (epdfview) launched and I am able to read the manual. However, I'd like to be able to save it for a later time. When I go to 'File > Save a Copy' I get 'Error Saving File Document is encrypted'. I have no idea why a manual would be encrypted but I am unable to save it. If I try right-clicking on the browser and selecting "Save link as" it'll save it proper but when I double click it it asks for a password. I suppose I could talk to tech support but figure that might take a while.
Just to be sure that I'm legit heres the manuals download page.

Enter 3054 as the model number and try for yourself.
Any idea on how I can get around this and have a copy of the manual?

Can you use "Print to File" or anything similar to that? (The GNOME print menu has a print to file menu using cairo or something like that; there's also a generic Cups PDF printer from the cups-pdf package in AUR.) If you can print the PDF, you can create a PDF identical to the one you're reading.
This seems to work from stuff off that site.
(But actually, for me, I could also save the file directly, and get something I could open in evince, mupdf and zathura just fine without a password. I didn't try ePDFReader. What does this this direct link do for you?)

The most direct method is:
wget http://ftp.casio.co.jp/pub/world_manual/wat/en/qw3054.pdf
Also, I had no trouble with ghostview or okular.
Edit: unmunged the url. (My browser made it a link for me. I did not want that (this time)
Edit: Dang, it did it again. Lets see what code tags do.
