Did you get an error? Here's what happened to me:1. Purchased/Downloaded the PDF on my work machine. Opened up fine, printed fine. I think dragged that file to my thumbdrive so I could put it on my machine at home.2. I got home, copied the PDF from the thumbdrive to my computer. Wouldn't open. Tried opening it from my thumbdrive, same error. Said the file had an error and wouldn't open.So I returned to work and...3. When to My Bookshelf in Adobe Reader. Highlighted the pdf and selected Save a Copy, saving it on to my thumbdrive.4. Returned home, copied that version to my computer, went to My Bookshelf and selected Add and browsed to the PDF I just copied over. The PDF was added and opened just fine. Prints, too. (This is all understanding that on both machines, I had to get Reader 6 and activate the DRM, including opening an account with Adobe--no more intrusive than when I opened this account on ENWorld.)That was it. Easy to do (just slightly more tedious than dragging and copying) and worked flawlessly. And if I lose a copy, it's on the other computer. I'm going to try the same with my portable.The only issue I may have, which I mentioned earlier, is that if, even after activating DRM on my PowerBook, I still have to be online each time I want to use a PDF on it. That will irk me. Other than that, this DRM just isn't intrusive at all. Don't know about the copy-paste, but I think you can do up to 10 pages per day from the PDF to something else. Doesn't seem too bad, though I don't ever do that anyway.</blockquote>
