PDF text copy protection

[JMR]

Hi all,

 

I wonder if it would be possible to include text copy-paste protection options in the pdf export settings. 

Currently I can do this eg. in Nitro, but is has to be done manually, for each file separately.

 

Sometimes it's necessary to protect one's intellectual property. The need is very much dependent on to whom the pdf is circulated to. Usually it's not necessary, but it would be a nice option to have.

Usually if this is a concern, we simply export raster .PDFs rather than vector. Of course that won't prevent OCR, but if somebody can read it they can retype it...

Sure, the file size is a bit large sometimes though. No way to prevent retyping...
