Hello Barry, When saving *.pdf files you can set a security option that blocks some of the possible actions of the PDF reader. Options you can block are "Printing", "Changing the document", "Selecting text and Graphics", "Adding or Changing Annotations and Form fields".
I use this security option when I create Declarations of Conformity that integrates signatures (mine actually...) alowing only the printing of the document. Hope this helps, Benoît Nadeau At 01:59 PM 7/17/2000 -0700, Barry Ma wrote: > >Hi, > >When reading an EMC article in PDF file, I sometimes want to copy a couple of sentences or paragraph to my MS WORD document.
