You need to add the watermark and disable printing and editing. Then you should be ok.

Got photoshop? I'd use that.

Or put some white text into a header/footer somewhere which won't appear on the PDF but will if you copy/paste to word and make it all black.

'Vagweb.co.uk - Copyright Steve whateveryourlastnameis' would do TBH.

Is an IP ban on him not going to work?

Gotta be easier than fucking about with permissions and stuff. Or insert your own copyright images/hidden text and when it pops up elsewhere show him up for it....

Whats the info? Is it that sensitive as people could always just screenshot if they really wanted it.


car brochures, that iv bought off ebay and taken ages to scan in, there some polish dude lurking around the site who owns a polish vag site, i dont want him nicking stuff.

i wouldnt care if it was stuff that id previously nicked but not stuff iv spent ages sorting out for the site

You'd have to turn off the print function too, as if you stopped people from being able to save it, all they'd need to do is re-print as a PDF. I do it frequently at work because people have set silly permissions on PDFs.

Open the pdf you've made, go to file document properties. Then Security tab.

You can then set it to have a password to open etc, so people could save it to desk top but when they try to open it they will need the password.


yeah iv read about the password thng, i dont really want that as it defeats the object i want them free to view for all members but not be abe to save it.

with a password i wouldve have to give it to the members which would mean they would be able to save it anyway

It's already going to be on thier hard drive if they have opened it off of a website.


Steve

posted on 15th Oct 07 at 09:38

Is it possible to protect these from being opened and saved to disk?

I just want people to be able to read them, not save the pdf to there hard drive
