How do i mark my pdf so no one can copy only read.

Hey people,
I am new here so please forgive me if i write on here about something that is written .
So down to the question,
I have recently written a small document that has taken me along time to create, now when i share it i would not like people to be able to copy only read it ...
so how can i do this ...
once again i have used the adobe that was included in my computer when i bought the computer ,i was thinking i may have to purchase the full adobe to get this ??
thank you for any replies
B

Hey B,
Welcome to the forum!
To the best of my knowledge, you will need Acrobat Standard at a minimum to do what you are asking. It's in the security features where you can restrict access to documents and the functions people can perform within the document. I regularly use the security settings to prevent people from doing anything to the document except to read it and print it.
The purchase of Acrobat Standard would also give you unlimited PDF creation from all of the Microsoft Office Suite programmes as well as a nifty archive function for Outlook. This would be compared to only having 5 PDF creations available to you in the free version of Acrobat.com. Definitely worth looking into!
Enjoy
Mark

Thank you for your subscription. If you are Acrobat Plus subscriber then you can extract the pages from the PDF file using Tools> Pages> Extract pages.
You can find "Tools" at right top once you open your PDF file in Acroat.
If you are subscriber to PDF Pack then please download Acrobat XI Plus from www.adobe.com.

Please let me know if you have any quesitons.

How do you merge multiple pdf's into one document?

Hi pharmovative,
You can use the Combine PDF feature of Adobe PDF pack to combine multiple PDF files into one document. (Or, if you have the full version of Acrobat, you an do it there as well by choosing Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF.)
Please let us know if you need further assistance.
Best,

How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

I use PrimoPDF (free download) to create pdf files. To merge two docs/pdfs/etc., print the first to a new pdf using Primo. Close it, then print the second and save it to the same new pdf. Primo gives you the option to 'append' or 'overwrite' the original file. By using 'append', you are just adding it to the back of the existing file. You can do this repeatedly to resort or combine existing pages into a new pdf.
Also, I'm using Adobe Reader X.

How to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

how to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

Hi aho,
You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.
What can I do with Reader?
Let me know if you have further questions!

How do I: put multiple PDF pictures into one PDF page?

I have just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro Ver 9 - so this apllication and its associated SDK are the only applications available to me for use.
Adobe Acrobat was chosen because of its AutoCAD capabilities (when AutoCAD is not present). i.e. Using Acrobat & AutoCAD's plot configuration files & Pen / colour selection table ensures the output has correct line thicknesses (sometimes colours in CAD are used to represent a line's thickness) - this is preserved when using Acrobat.
The generated output is fantastic. However, when I try to print the output via Excel / Word (used for layout) - my perfect output is reduced to imperfect results.
So: is it possible to layout multiple PDF pictures inside one PDF entity for printing purposes such that the original output is not distorted?
I have in the past put pages in front or behind other pages but cannot find any references or code that works with Pro 9 nor indeed the manual way to insert PDF pages at any location on a single PDF Page?
I'll try and explain. My template coud consist of 6 boxes on a single A4 page thus:
My base PDF Page (can be thought of as a template - ideally it wont be printed - but even if it is - it wont be printed on any media material) has 6 areas (any number of areas up to 100) on it. In each area, there is a box. It is within these boxes that I wish to place a PDF Picture. Not all pictures will be the same. How can I do that? Ideally I'd like some example C# code - though doing it as a user will suffice, for now.
Is there a way of programmatically selecting each of the above boxes on the base PDF Document?
I do know of one manual method (though it seems long winded) and it is not accurate enough in that (even though the layers are deselected) - the hidden layers are subsequently outputed too - not good!
Uses a button icon over each box.
All the current Adobe help for the SDK refers to Pro 8 and previously - which all seems to have now been replaced in Pro 9
This question will be placed in the Developer & User Forums - as it pertains to both.
Thankyou in advance for anyone that either knows any workarounds or any ways to affect a solution.

Picture of what I want to see:
What I get, and don't want to see is:
The PDF was generated using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from an AutoCAD LT (DWG) file without AutoCAD being present but making use of a plot configuration (PC3) file & pen table (CTB) file. The resultant file [WhatIWantToSee.pdf] is perfect - all the lines are the right thickness & colour and are perfect vectors (with no construction / proofing layers visible). When you view that file in Acrobat and show the "Layers" property box, you see that the correct number of layers whilst are still present are indeed turned off.
However, when I add a forms-button to one of the rectangles (please refer to initial post - where there are 6 rectangles), and display same file as icon display. The resultant view is the one shown above named [ What I get and don't want to see]. It seems the saved layer settings are all ignored?
I generated the PDF file through Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Menu | File | Create PDF | From File (Files of type Autodesk) | Options | Selected Layers | Layout | Last Active Layout.
Rectangles are regular content elements - not fields (in the general meaning of form-fields).

In Safari how do I open a .PDF file in Preview instead of Adobe Reader?

When a pdf file opens on my computer in Safari, it opens with Adobe Reader (v. 7.0.8). Until recently, I could right-click on my mouse and and a drop-down menu would appear with the option to open the pdf file in Preview instead of Adobe. That option has now disappeared from the drop-down menu. Can anyone explain how to get back the menu option to open the pdf file in Preview? Thanks. David

My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
computers:-)
Anyway, we have the same question.
How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
Safari, or external in Adobe?
This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
Thanks!

How do I consolidate multiple PDF pages into one iBook file ?

I have a big test coming up, and I have 600 practice questions saves as PDF's on my iMac. I tried downloading them through iTunes on my iPad, but it looks like they downloaded as 600 individual iBook files. Needless to say, it will waste a lot of time opening up and closing each page.
Is there a way to "consolidate" all 600 of these PDF files, so that they appear as one single iBook file? I would really like to study by turning the page, instead of being forced to close each file and open a new one 600 times.
Thanks!

Good to know -- there is no file format "Adobe Acrobat Reader" and there is no application "Adobe Acrobat Reader".
The file format PDF is what Acrobat can create and manipulate.
(Acrobat is a "for pay" desktop application.)
Adobe Reader ( a free to download, install and use application) can open and let one view PDF files.
To combine PDF files you would use Acrobat.
An alternative would be to subscribe to Adobe's online subscription service "PDF Pack".

How do I combine several PDF files into one?

I have renewed Adobe subscription and would like to combie several PDF files into one. I was able to do this last year, but can no longer combine files. What am I doing wrong? Step-by-step answer, please. Thank you.
Marilee

As TSN has indicated we have no idea what program you are using, other than you posted in the Acrobat forum. In Acrobat you go to File > Create > Combine (varies with version of Acrobat). You can also open one and then use the pages>Insert to add the others.
