 |
|
I'm using OO and produce documents which I then print/save as PDF to distribute. But, I cannot find a way to protect the pdf files. I only want recipients be able to read and or print them, currently they can do everything.
How can I do this? |

The extendedPDF add-in now has a commercial version that offers document security features. Or, you could try the PDF Toolkit, it may do what you're after.

Actually, it was the extendedPDF site that gave me the link for the toolkit. £29.99 is a bit rich for me, thanks to the NZ-UK exchange rate, so discovering a cheaper alternative was a pleasant surprise.
