No, but that check box should disable it if there is any DRM in the pdf (which might not be the case for most pdf!) Maybe verify if the disk hosting /tmp is full? Try "df" to see if it is... 2009/6/14 prad

Did you disable DRM support in Okular?

pierre, checking or unchecking the Obey DRM limitations box has no effect.

is there another way to disable DRM?

Just to bump this discussion -- I too am having this problem. /tmp is definitely not empty, and there is no DRM in this document (it was produced by me via pdflatex). Does anyone know what else might cause this? -- Thanks, Leonid Grinberg

Aha, I see. I'll look further into it -- I rarely need to use print preview, but I resort to evince when I have to, and this is really a bug that needs to be squashed. Thanks for the link! -- Leonid On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 02:05, prad wrote:

leonid, i got this response from the forums: "Since it's a print preview, the file is stored in /tmp, which okular doesn't like.  You need to move the file or get another viewer program for it to work, unless there is a setting in okular that can fix this." http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74026

however, it makes no sense to me that okular won't like /tmp since i thought /tmp was supposed to be used for just such a purpose by programs. nor could i find anything in okular options to make a change.
