PCWorks: Adobe Reader question

Thanks to all that tried to help in this situation. I think
I have 
something that will work now. I downloaded IrFanView, then
with Foxit 
which will let me snapshot on a protected document I take a
snapshot of 
the info within a page, then launch IrFanview hit ctrl V
then adjust it 
to fill the 8 x 11 sheet and it prints ok. I did have to set
a 
preference in Foxit to take snapshots at 72 dpi.
All this is only for protected documents if the document is
unprotected 
you only need to use Adobe, take a snapshot, then select
print and 
select "print graphic" and it works even better.
