Extracting & Printing data from Protected PDF's using Google Docs

How often that we receive PDF documents from people which are electronically protected in such a way that we copy text from document as well as print it. So whats the trick to get your work done?

Its simple, follow any of the 2 steps mentioned below -
  1. Send the PDF as an attachment to one of your Gmail ID's. In your Gmail account select the option to open the document in Google Docs. OR
  2. Open Google Docs & upload your PDF file.
Once the file is available in Google Docs, it gets automatically converted to HTML format. Though there would be significant loss in data formatting, you can still extract data from the file & print it as required.

Isn't this simple. Try it!!!
