Anyone have any reasonable idea why DAZ encrypted the accompanying .PDF doc? I figured it was due to the nature of a beta release with the understanding the content would change. But i'm just guessing. Am I missing a password somewhere? Is it 'Klaatu Barado Nikto'? 'Open Sesame'?

My copy worked ok maybe you need a new acrobat reader? A tip: dont get version 6 of acrobat reader because it stinks.

The manual is not encrypted. Anyone can open it and read it and print it. It is, however, prevented agaisnt copy/paste. changes, etc. Anthony

That was weird. I tried opening the file yesterday in Preview (on Mac OSX), and yes, it said only the copy/paste features were prevented, yet every page was nothing more than a pic of a lock (or was it a key?). Nonetheless, I just tried again, and voila......OPEN! Ah well, thanks and nevermind.

I had no problem with the PDF, except it took forever toload into my system. Wow!

I had no problem with the PDF...using the full version of Acrobat, but it was slower than backwards loading in my system so I just printed it out while I had it up. Using print manager and graphics as greyscale, it printed off faster than loading in.
