What type of Usage Rights does (DA)RemoveUsageRights remove?
Comment by John VonBokel — May 5, 2011 @ 1:43 pm
@John, if a PDF has usage rights applied to it and you edit it in a non-Adobe application then this invalidates the usage rights. Unfortunately it also causes an error when you open that PDF in an Adobe product. So it is necessary to removes the UR and UR3 keys from the permissions dictionary. It does not make any other changes to the PDF.

@Dario, in 7.24, there is a chance that DAFindPage(X) followed by DAFindPage(X + 1) will result in the incorrect page being located for certain PDFs. This is fixed in 7.25 beta 2.

So does that mean we might get to render to 1bbp tiffs ?
