Convert word to pdf
I would like to share a doc with others but don't want them to copy my text
easily (just highlight and copy). How can I disable the text select tool when I convert word to pdf? Please help. Thanks. |

It's best to use the 128-bit settings because the versions 5.0 or newer allow the 40-bit security settings to be circumvented. Additionally, there are some free tools which will hack these security settings for a minimum amount of pages. (the reference I recall were six pages or less). |

No matter how much effort you put into this, someone will simply print the
document and run it through OCR software. If the document can be viewed it can be copied. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lostinspace wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: "s0200897" Newsgroups: microsoft.public.word.docmanagement Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 12:33 AM Subject: Convert word to pdf I would like to share a doc with others but don't want them to copy my text easily (just highlight and copy).

Hello Graham, The 128-bit setting offers a no-print option as well as a low-resolution print. These options although not foolproof are intended for the masses. There are always going to be folks who will hack items to some degree. |

Thanks all.
Actually, I just want to diable the text select tool in case others can't use the TouchUp text tool to revise my original texts. So, the texts and the background should be merged (like a whole picture) after I convert the word to pdf but I don't know how to do that. I have tried to convert the word to pdf first then convert that pdf to jpg. Finally, convert the jpg to pdf. However, the resolution is too low to recognize my texts. Please kindly help.

Having opened the PDF with Acrobat (not the free reader); FILE / Document Security / Document is secured with / scroll to Standard Security Encryption Level; scroll to 128-bit Uncheck the two checked boxes. In the following line "Changes allowed", scroll to NONE Printing; sroll to either NONE or Low Resolution. Save file with two passwords which will further hamper many hackers. NOTE, you should record these passwords some place. SAVE File. Exit and test. |

There are many Word to PDF Converters on the market,but it is important to

Convert word to pdf
There is no need to buy a third party tool like the one you are advertising
to convert Word documents to PDF. Word 2007 comes with its own pdf creation utility. People using a Word 2007 version prior to SP2, have to install the addin manually though. It can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en If you are using a version of Word prior to 2007, there are plenty of free pdf printers you can use: http://www.PrimoPDF.com , http://www.CutePDF.com , ....
