About Justin VanAlstyne Expertise I have a full working knowledge of Adobe Acrobat 5.0 - 7.01. I have experience in creating interactive PDFs, embedding multimedia, web-based forms, creating presentations using PDF, advanced prepress preparation, PDF web optimization, color management, and using PDF as a soft-proofing tool. I do not have a lot of experience using Acrobat`s advanced Javascripting features, though a lot of custom functionality can be built into a PDF this way.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 5 to create PDFs on my Mac. These will be viewable on my website. How do I set them to be
non-printable? Thank you.
Answer David-
Very simply. Open up the PDF, go to the File menu to "Document Propeties" (Command - D), and then go the the Security section. There you will be able to set a password to lock the document, and set the print and editing options for the PDF. You have to set a password to enable these settings. None of them are permanent. After locking down the PDF, you can always come back to this screen, enter the password, and turn off all the security at any time down the road.
