One thing I've found helpful in the past to get around this is to simply
take the free and open PDF and generate a copy of it with a password on
it.  then put it on a USB stick.  Then when they go to open it they see
its a secured PDF with a password.  Then when you're able to provide ths
super secret password they simply assume that you have permission from
the publisher.  :)  YMMV but its worked for me in the past. :)  Keep in
mind a lot of it has to do with your attitude when you enter the store.
You've gotta "sell" it through and through.  

Reminds me of the days a while back when it was my job to test bank
security.  Usually banks spent a ton of time working on their perimeter
systems before hiring us to find vulnerabilities simply to find that
usually their weakest point was their trusting employees! :)  But in
their industry you either get security or good customer service.  It's
hard to provide a good balance of both.
