Hi David, I have done this tutorial but when I tried sending it to an email, it opened as google docs. I think the pdf will only be locked if it's on Microsoft edge? correct me if I'm wrong, please. As I really wanted to protect my ebook. thank you

You're welcome.

[@NavedKhan-ku2qk]

Hi David, nice informative video.. thanks & congrats...👍 Please let me know if I upload this Libre pdf file to some 'pdf to word' conversion website (as there are many), then will it get converted to word? Because if that happens, then the changes can be done in the word file, and it can again be converted to PDF... Please guide...🙏

[@kirinvn2204]

Thank you so much

[@David_Mbugua]

You're most welcome.

[@williamwallace9826]

It does not appear that this prevents someone from making and distributing duplicate copies of a PDF file. This only prevents copying portions of text when the file is open for viewing.

[@esqinalyev3774]

thank you very much

David, I see the "SAVE AS" icon is still workable. How do we stop that too? I'm looking for a solution - even if it's not free.

Thank you for the enlightening video! Should you require the removal of a password from a PDF file after adding it, VeryPDF provides a PDF Password Remover software. This tool adeptly removes passwords and printing restrictions from PDF files. Operating entirely offline, it ensures utmost convenience. Enjoy the smooth and seamless experience!

[@dkfwoolee9052]

Hi David There is perfect one, DICO (Digital Coating). Screenshot cannot be taken and words cannot be copied also printing cannot be. No installation. all of protection is done in browser. You can also earn money while using that service.

[@maimounchokri1135]

sorry but you might loose the formatting of your file with this method (when using a special font or in some utf-8 codig)

[@Factsidk]

Does it work in Mobile?

[@nilimashrestha848]

Thank you David.

[@razvanbordei6802]

Turns out that nothing can really protect a PDF. I created a secured PDF in both Acrobat DC and Libre Office, but I was able to open/save them from PDF24 as fresh PDFs, with no restrictions.

[@Kenkittie]

This is a bummer. I’.m looking to start selling digital products and I dont want them to be tossed around for free. Is there any workaround this?

[@razvanbordei6802]

The way I do it is to export the PDF as image then make a new PDF from that image and secure it. This way if the password is hacked at least the text, images or CAD info will not be in the PDF anymore.

[@abdishakourali3681]

hello, David, this is a very good video, thank you for your good explanation

[@caribbeanguytrinbago9662]

How can we give it an expiry date to file?

[@Alyssa_aria]

Thank you so much!

[@David_Mbugua]

You're welcome.

[@dataworld-information]

It's only work in edge browser but if you open it in Safari browser it doesn't work, we can copy and paste it's not protected on other browser

[@imcjeewan0627]

So once the file is restricted from all that which you have mentioned only viewing is possible and nothing else.

[@mohamdkhlil5906]

How can i block screenshots of PDF documents in windos11 ?

[@LucyMbugua-pb3bx]
