How do I prevent image selection in a pdf file?

I am trying to avoid selection of an image in a PDF file. In my file, it is possible to click and select an image, which gets highlighted in a blue colour. I would like to avoid that, creating a file that seems like this: http://www.dcc.ttu.ee/lap/lap5760/jy992d48301-j_fx.pdf
Note that I am not referring to the encryption or security option, but to an alternative where one can not even select the image by clickling. I am well aware that this will not prevent from copying the image (there is always print-screen, anyway), but I just want to avoid the possibility of selecting the image in any case for an academic article.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The file you linked to is secured... So if you want your file to behave the same, apply security to it as well.
Another option is to export your file to an image format, and then re-generate a new PDF file from those images. That would "flatten" it in a way that would make the original images not selectable, but I think that's a long way to go just for that small difference.

    We need to populate dynamic data in the pdf file for this we may use text boxes
    We need to set the font name for the text box and embed that font in the pdf template (Eg:Font to be used in textboxes is "RotisSansSerif-Bold")

    There is a similar post just a few away from yours. I will suggest what I would try. Open your job settings file (press or print preferred to get all fonts) and then select the properties and the font tab. At your font to the always embed list and you will likely need to uncheck the subset box. Then save your job settings (give it a name that is meaningful to you, you can not use the settings file you started with as they are read only and I do not recommend changing that). Maybe that will do the job. Of course that is for the creation of the PDF, I forgot you were talking about a form. You might check the form field properties, but I suspect you have already tried that. Guess I don't play with forms enough. Others may be by to answer.

  • How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

    How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??  I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it.  There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing.  How do I get rid of it?  Cannot select it.  Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it.  The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it.  I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

    Hey needadobehelp10,
    Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
    Is this really you wish for?
    Please let me know.

  • How do you make a link in a .pdf file? (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

    Dear Adobe Acrobat Forum,
    I would like to add a link to my .pdf file.
    Once clicked on, I would like the link to send the user to another place in the same .pdf file
    or open a separate .pdf file.
    I've tried to resolve this on my own by going to both Acrobat help section and the InDesign help section as well as Googling "Acrobat 8 link" or something similar.......but to no avail.
    So, can you please tell me how I can add a link to a .pdf file?
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
    I have been creating .pdf files using the File > Export feature in Adobe InDesign CS3 (for the Mac).
    Thanks!

    Have you tried in Acrobat 8 to:
    Choose Link tool.
    Then choose as shown on as on this Graphic
    Then when clicking next you should be greeted with this:
    Choose open a file or open a weblink depending upon what you want to do.
    You try some of the other choices. once you select what to do save as a copy and try. If This one doesn't work try some of the other choices in the first graphic. other panes will open up similar to second graphic except there will be other choices.

  • How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

    I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

    Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
    You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
    If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
    Best luck.

    4) copy (by using the key combination <command> + c OR select the menu item "Edit > Copy"

    hi,
    I believe that your have 4 containers on the screen with individual ALV display. in this case, there is no way to get combined PDF output to my knowledge.
    However you can use Smartform/Sapscript as output which would allow you to display ALV in blocks and also print it in one.
