We are trying to prevent ads which our company produces from being used by competitors in their publications.� We are sending our customers electronic proofs in PDF form by email which we build for them, which they then send to our competitors.� I would like to find�a way to either embed "PROOF" across the ad which cannot be removed, but all parts of the ad can be read, or make the ad un-printable.� Is there any way to accomplish the embedding when making the PDF, yet not effect the native file?� Ideally, we would like to apply some type of watermark for every ad sent as a proof.� Thanks in advance.
