About Glenn Fraller Expertise Even though I am donating my time to AllEperts.com and I am an Expert, this does NOT mean I know ALL the answers to ALL questions! It seems to me today, people seem to want too much from certain people. I am here because I want to help lead people in a direction I would go. My expertise is limited to Adobe Acrobat 5 (PC) and Acrobat 7 Professional (MAC). If you have version 8 (PC) or (MAC) I, now I am speaking for me only, I would read the help file(s) and research on the Internet every where until I found and understood the solution to my challenge.
Experience Every business day I use Enfocus Pitstop, a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat 5 (PC) and Professional 7 (MAC). Without it, there isn't that much that can be done without the hassel of opening the PDF within Adobe Illustrator. Then there are font issues! Education/Credentials Degreed in Industrial Education and Technology, School of Graphic Communications and work in the prepress field everyday as a toubleshooter.

Question i intend to send a document with some images as PDF to different people
1. How i can "fix it" so that no one can change the content of my PDF document?
2. is it possible to make PDF doc. self distruct if someone a. tries to copy it b. PDF document becomes self distruct after the set time (by me)?
3. how can i have "DOWNLOAD" on my home page so that visitors can download a PDF document?
I would appreciate if you can reply to each question separately please
Thank you very much
Tony
I do not know why you requested me to answer each question separately. I could see asking me for particular ways to answer questions, if you were paying me for my time. But since I am gracious enough to answer any questions for free, I will answer questions in the manner I see will not take more of my time than needed. So here I go answering your three questions, here and now.
SECURITY: BEST SOLUTION:
1. Password protect your entire PDF document. HOW?
>>Open the document >>> File >>> Document Security >>>
Acrobat Standard Security >>> See attachment.
Save As (New Name) to set the password. Your done.
2. No it is not logically possible to program a PDF self-destroy.
3. Upload the PDF to your web site. Hot link directly to the PDF instead of a page. PCs tend to download PDFs that are hot linked.
