Question HOW DO I PREVENT SOMEONE FROM PRINTING A PDF DOCUMENT AND ALSO SAVING A PDF DOCUMENT.
Answer If you open a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Professional, once the document is open, go under the File menu and select "Document Properties" and go to the Security tab - go to the Security Method drop down menu and select Password Security. You can then set the document up to require a password to open it, prevent copying items or text or changing it in anyway or prevent printing. Then, simply Save As (use a different name!) and your PDF is secure !
