Protecting my .tex output

Post by jonysatie »

Hello everybody,

I would like to know if there's some way to protect my final output in pdf. That is, if I could use a command or general option that allows me to do that.

When someone opens the pdf document can copy the text. I actually don't want that happens.

Bye and thanks.

Protecting my .tex output

This can't be done directly with LaTeX. Take a look at pdftk by Sid Steward. It is a small tool that allows handling PDF documents in many ways, including the issues you requested. A GUI is available with PDFTK Builder.


Best regards
