    Use print screen on keyboard, and paste to a word doc, or use snipping tool. Should be able to get a pretty good replica this way

    Just want to make something clear, is this breaking any privacy / publishing laws?

    Why has the creator blocked the pdf from being printed?

    Kaplan write the content which is provided to CIMA
    I paid my subscription but received the material Kaplan online

    They do not allow printing unless you buy the hard copy which is expensive and also by not printing it stops people sharing the material and forces them to buy the same material in hard copy


    I'm going on holiday but cannot bring my laptop and whilst away I plan on studying (sad I know) but I will have time to kill so I wish to print the PDF so I can read it

    No malice in the request ( if your wondering )

    It's their own material so cannot see how copyright laws are breached unless I started sharing the printed version which would be illegal and not my intention

    It's for personal use

    Can you right click on the file and open it with Word? Might be able to print it from in there.

    From a copyright perspective the creator has purposely blocked printing so unfortunately we cannot allow the discussion of this.
