Hi all,

Can someone recommend a secure way of password protecting a PDF
document from being editted? I would like to allow users to print the
document, but want to prevent them from copying or editing the
document. After searching the web, I found that you can in fact do
this, but there are tools that allow you to decrypt the file and get
to the very thing I am trying to protect.

Advanced PDF Password Recovery from ElcomSoft
PDF Password Remover from Very PDF.

Is there anything that is trule secure?

Thanks,
J
