If you have the full acrobat, you can create a pdf with security
restrictions. One of the restrictions would be to not allow printing
of the document. Other restrictions will keep the end user from
changing the document etc. There may be other enhancements to Acrobat
since v. 4, which is the one I still have. Hope this helps.

Subject: [Finale] Pdf to potential performer - advice needed
A number of the members on this list have more experience in this
area, so
I'd greatly appreciate any knowledgeable advice on how to handle the
following.
An artist has contacted me and requested a score of a yet unpublished
composition of mine. This person, previously unknown to me, appears (on
line) to be well qualified as a potential performer of the work, and I
would
like to get the score to him. I seek advice on the following:
- Is there an advantage in sending either a pdf or a hard copy?
- What options are available, other than placing a copyright notice
on
the work, to help restrict the use of this score to the stated
intent
of this artist (consider the piece for performance)?
One thought I had was to put some sort of watermark, or the like, on
several
pages of the score. Has anyone done this? Is there some way to do
this in
Finale so that it would show up and print out in pdf form?
This appears to be a very legitimate request and I have no reason to
suspect
that this person is being dishonest in any way. I want to be helpful
and
appreciative of his interest, but I don't want it to seem like I'm
ready to
give my music away for free, which I'm not.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
