PDF Piracy (lemmy.world)

I am officially an old person, as I have subscribed to a magazine. It’s niche, but it’s been around a long time, and having enjoyed a lot of issues in my childhood that were given to me for free, I feel I should give back.

I’m wondering if there are precautions I should take. Can any sort of copy protection be put into PDFs that I should strip out? If I share them as a torrent, should I be worried that the publisher can tell where they came from?

I believe you're referring to Termux, the terminal app. Tmux is a terminal multiplexer. Although you can run Tmux in Termux, so technically...

Anyway, great post! It seems I have to check out Ghostscript, don't think I've ever heard of it, thanks.

Yes, thanks! I did indeed mean Termux. I'll edit my post.
