Re: How do I get the encrypted competition manual?

I'm not familiar with software for Windows that can do this, other than Adobe's official PDF creation software. It shouldn't be too hard to find something, though.
Then you can distribute the new PDF among your team (and other teams), removing the need for any form of internet access.

Back to the printing issue, The decrypted pdf can be printed (I did this in 2009 at least) to a pdf printer, such as PDF creator (get it from ninite.com or sourceforge). I believe PDF creator is cross platform, and should work on all three major flavors of OS.
I'm looking forward to the iOS and android apps for the game this year.
