Standards organisations, which make and own copyright to proprietary texts which will be necessary to understand and enforce laws such as the EU's AI Act, which mandate them and refer to them directly, are making it even harder to access standards by instituting pretty nasty Adobe #DRM.

To add insult to injury, if you use #Linux your seemingly only chance of opening this file is to use #Adobe Acrobat Reader 8, support for which ended *11 years ago*. In order to print a standard about cybersecurity!
