Question ID: 713212
I have produced a document in pdf format that will be sold from a website.
Is there any way to restrict distribution of this. I have Acrobat 7
and know how to prevent printing and/or editing but I would like to
prevent customers from sending the document to their
friends/colleagues. Perhaps there is a way to allow one copy to be
printed and then the file can not be opened again? - Or is there
another solution?
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.
