  <title>PDF printing restrictions</title>
  <p>
  Some PDF documents have a setting which prevents you from printing them.
  Authors can set this printing restriction when they write a document.
  Atril overrides this restriction by default, but you may want to check
  that it hasn't been disabled:
  </p>

  <note style="important">
    <p>You need to have <app>dconf Editor</app> installed on your computer to
    change this setting.</p>
  </note>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open <gui>dconf Editor</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Browse to <sys>/org/mate/atril</sys>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
      Make sure that the <gui>override-restrictions</gui> option is checked.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
      Go back to<app>Atril</app> and try to print the document again.
