My suggestion is to allow the owner of a pdf to be able to convert a sewing pattern that is in the pdf format to be converted to the AO format. This would mean that a 57 page puzzle that must be printed out and taped together can be replaced with a couple of 33x46 pages.
The Simplicity pattern company sells dress patterns in the pdf format that are password protected so the files can not be converted if I upload the pattern to be printed. I fully understand that Adobe respects Simplicity's right to restrict the use of a pdf to only the person who paid the cash and downloaded the pattern..that they cannot then send the pdf over to a printer who can print in a larger, more economical format. But could Adobe offer workarounds? Simplicity clearly states that they don't offer their patterns in the AO format, and I doubt they will make the change any time soon.
