Prevent copy if pdf document (generated from word)?

This is not possible. Even if such a thing were in the PDF specification (I don't think there is), a non-official (non-Adobe) viewer would most probably ignore the option specified in the file, for example Evince a popular Gnome PDF viewer that is the default on Ubuntu. Most viewers would ignore such an option because it impedes the user's freedom.

I'm almost pretty sure you can do that (even with the non-Adobe apps). It is not about user's freedom, its about pdf security settings, which I believe are set when the pdf is created. – Zee99 Sep 14 '10 at 12:41 1 Yes, but I'm saying, any program can choose to ignore the 'don't select or copy' flag, if they favour user freedom.

I'm saying, in other words, that this is an ineffective way of protecting your information. – Delan Azabani Sep 14 '10 at 12:44.

Found it, Can be done with Adobe Acrobat Professional, not the Acrobat Reader. PDF, or portable document format, forms were created by Adobe as a form of universal file format. Adobe Acrobat Reader, which allows you to view PDF files, is available for free download.

Unfortunately, to manipulate documents and perform functions like changing security settings, you must have the full Adobe Acrobat software. With it, you can create secure PDFs, but you can also change security settings on PDF forms.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
