What is your favorite pdf hack (not file-format based):
Change text?
Remove watermark?
Remove ads pictures on documents to print?

@Ange Apparently removing restrictions on a PDF file (copy / print / view / modify) are all just flags that can be turned off. But Adobe will get “big mad” if you make a utility that does this.

Not encryption, obviously, but everything else.
