I have a reason why this would be useful...my company (CBS) in an effort to prove how environmentally friendly we profess to be, has chosen a paperless paystub route. The only way to get a copy of any financial documents is to download (after thrice going through username/password gauntlets)a protected pdf. So I was buying a house a couple years ago and I had to access all of my old paystubs to turn in to the mortgage company. I could not find a soul that knew how to access those pdf's from home so I found a way around it similar to what is in this blog.
