How do I disable the paste function on a PDF so that the reader can write text on it but not copy and paste text onto it?

I'm trying to create a PDF for my students to take notes on during class but I don't want them to be able to copy and paste the notes. I'm using adobe professional to create the PDF.

Why do you want to prevent copy and paste? They can take screen shots of the pdf if they are real insistent? If you password protect your file, to prevent copy and paste, but that is trivial to circumvent. You can convert your pdf to tiff and then re-import, the resulting file will be an image pdf file.The contents will be an image which doesn’t prevent copy and paste, will prevent it being done as text.

  • How do I use the same apple id for 2 iPads, but not share email, phone #, etc.?

    I have had 2 iPads for a couple years, both using the same apple id. One is used primarily by my husband. Today I got notifications that my husband's ipad is now using all the same email addresses and phone number associated with mine. How do I change this?

    You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
    Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.

  • When using Firefox -loging to Yahoo mail - see account but then get error page says i have lower resolution than 1024xx600- have new computer and set at 1600x900, cleared out past history etc but does the same - can log in w/chrome but not firefox

    I don't know what else to say

    That can happen if you zoom Yahoo mail websites.<br />
    Yahoo uses a script to check the screen dimensions and zooming a page affects the window and screen width and height settings.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • How do I disable the welcome screen in iCloud

    This may seem like a simple question but every time I attempt to access my iCloud account, I get the Welcome screen asking me if I want to activate Find Your device (whatever device I'm using) and if I want to activate Find my Friends (NO) etc.  Half the time I don't even know what the correct address is for iPad and get all kinds of other websites and I just give up.  Now I'm in a CRITICAL SITUATION in which I've gotten a Time Machine message that my WD Drive is no longer backing up and must be reformatted immediatly  - YIKES!  As you all can see I am very frustrated - I am still in the process of restoring data I lost from a hard drive failure in JUNE 2011 LOL How do I disable the Welcome screen in iCloud?  What exactly is the correct web address?  Sounds like a question for Watson.  I know others have had a similar problem with WD external drives; can I recover enough data to get me back up and running?  All my Time Machine back ups are on that drive. Awhile ago I bought Carbon Copy; it is apparently not functioning as it should (again back up on that drive) because I did the upgrade prior to getting the data off the WD drive, it installed a Trial Carbon Copy and is now asking me to reinstall what is sees as new software thus the last disc image is "lost.  HELP PLEASE

    Where are you trying to access your iCloud account, and from what device?
    If you are trying to access your iCloud account at http://www.icloud.com/ from an iOS device, you can't. The iCloud.com website is not designed to be accessed from iOS devices - access it on your Mac.
    Your Time Machine and WD external backups and Carbon Copy backups are nothing to do with iCloud, so I don't know what you think accessing iCloud will achieve in your situation anyay.

  • HT4356 How do I disable the ability to print from an iPad?

    How do I disable the ability to print from an iPad?

    I have the Apple Configurator. If it has the ability to block printing from an iPad, I was not able to find it. I might check out the windows version. Do you know if the windows woek on iPads (It is called Apple iPhone Configurator)?
    1) Apple never renamed "Apple iPhone Configurator" after the iPad come out.  Name should be something like Apple iOS Configurator.  Apple iPhone Configurator will work with the iPad.
    2) Doubt there is a functional difference between the Mac & Windows versions.
    3) Check with iOS 6.  Some resrictions have changed.

  • How do you disable "Connect to iTunes to Enable Push Notification" Message when opeing an app? Thie message is compeleyely annoying and theres is no way to cancel it. You have to clcik on "OK" to use the app.

    How do you disable the "Connect to iTunes to Enable Push Notifications" prompt when opening apps on an iPad (OS7)? The message is completely annoying and there is no way to cancel it. You must click on "OK" to use the app. I have already disabled notifications on those apps in the Notification Center.

    The best way to do this is to leave all files unchanged, but render the file containing that horrendous bird noise unreadable to the system. Open a terminal window, and paste this command:
    sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/Frameworks/Social.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.twitter.xpc/C ontents/Resources/TwitterSent.caf
    That's it. Your Tweets should hereinafter be silent unless you change TwitterSent.caf's permissions again.

  • How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?

    Someone else posted ths question a month ago, but still no answers.  Anyone?
    How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?
    Windows XP, SP3 operating system recently re-installed so I also reinstalled my printer software.  Now, for some reason, each time I turn my computer on, my HP Photosmart C4100 all-in-one photosmart premier software opens.  It is not in my startup.  This slows down my computer terribly, which is why I never used the program before my re-install.  How can I disable this feature?  I only print, I don't use it for photos.
    Any help here is appreciated.

    Run msconfig.exe from the start button (type in msconfig).  When it comes up go to the Startup tab and find and deselect the HP product you do not want to start.  Save and reboot computer.  Now try.

  • How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

    How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
    I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
    The operation system is Windows XP.
    They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
    We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash.  You are left with no video signal to the monitor.  Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
    We have tried:
    Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
    Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
    Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
    There seems to be two ways to work round this issue.  One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows.  The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
    Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
    Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC?  Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel.

    Hi.
    I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
    I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
    If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
    If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
    Thanks.

  • How do I disable the reload on the back button of Firefox and have it display the cached/prior page version?

    Every time I click the "back" button, Firefox reloads the previous page I was on. How do I disable the reload and have Firefox display the cached/prior page version? The whole point of going "back" is to see what we were just looking at.. I don't want a refreshed version of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am running version 3.6.12.

    No problem. It's not a request that's been seen much if at all to be honest. I rely on them myself.
    You can always feel free to provide feedback to Apple though.

  • How do I disable the TTY option on my i phone (Version 5.1.1.)

    How do I disable the TTY Option on my I phone 4 (Version 5.1.1.)

    The only time that setting should not appear is if there is a sim in your phone from a non-supported iPhone carrier. Then, TTY can be turned on by default. So, try this:
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.
    That should get rid of the icon regardless.
