BoingBoing sez "Google has downgraded Gmail so that it no longer cracks PDFs with the no-copy-bit set".

Can you find a PDF to test this?

I can confirm this. My friend Markus send me a copy-protected PDF a while ago, while viewing it still worked. Today I get this when I try to view it as HTML:

"The attachment cannot be viewed as HTML because the author has placed restrictions on its content. Download the attachment to view it in its original format."
