FWIW-
I think that if I were wanting to reproduce a PDF that is does not allow printing or copying...
I merely take a screen shot of the document, saving the output as a TIFF. This is usually good enough for an OCR equipped scanner to have at it. Then save the newly scanned document and voilà !
Others will know better than moi how well or if this really would work. I don't even have a scanner.
