That newer versions of Chrome follow the pdf restriction settings by disallowing it to copy text or print a pdf-file. However other pdf-viewers like Mozilla's pdf.js just ignore this settings. Is there a way to get the Chrome pdf viewer to ignore the pdf restrictions? Does anyone know when chrome changed the behavior this way?

The question is old, but still someone can find the answer useful.
I usually remove restrictions and/or encryption by printing the PDF to file in Chrome. The resulting file has no restrictions, and if it was encrypted, the encryption is gone as well.
