Re: How to make a pdf read only?

[Michael Butash via PLUG-discuss]

I only really use LibreOffice to generate PDF's, and usually lock them down
for things like statements of work and such to keep anyone from getting
crafty, easily done there as part of the export process under security.

Another option might be using MasterPDF editor, free version (ie. older
version).  It works great still, not had to lock an existing file before,
but it might.  Normally I use it a lot of attaching a signature to a pdf,
but I don't re-lock it at that point.

How to make a pdf read only?

How to make a pdf read only?

I'm sure I've done this in the past,
but can't remember how. Searched the
net but found no solution.

Do not want to convert to an image
but just want a read-only pdf.

Re: What am I doing wrong?

[Michael via PLUG-discuss]

I've even tried to just place it in $LFS because at first it wasn't
accepting  a directory until I took it out but then it wasn't
accepting that line so I decided to try it with one directory. I even
tried it with  /mnt/lfs

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

What am I doing wrong?

[Michael via PLUG-discuss]

in my fourth attempt at linux from scratch this is the script I'm trying to run:
 ../configure   \
 --prefix=/usr  \
 --build=$(../config.guess) \
 --host=$LFS_TGT\
 --disable-nls  \
 --enable-shared\
 --disable-werror   \
 --enable-64-bit-bfd\
 2>&1 | tee $LFS/rootdir/buildlogs/6.17BinutilsIImyconflog

It is producing a makefile But is not producing the
6.17BinutilsIImyconflog. Well if it is producing it I don't know where
it is.  it is supposed to be in $LFS/rootdir/buildlogs/ ($LFSdefined
as /mnt/lfs)

[Eric Oyen via PLUG-discuss]

Hopefully, you get that package working correctly.

And yes, PLUG is involved in politics at a grass roots level. There is no way 
that anyone can completely outlaw Linux anywhere on the planet. Far too many of 
us would end up going underground. Sure, we would use windows on our public 
facing internets, but when it comes to hard coding that is cleaner than windows 
can ever be, Linux, BSD, OS X and even some of the lesser known UNIX type 
environments would still be of use. Also, considering that Google used Linux to 
create the Android OS, it would become very difficult for one party like Bill 
gates to have any sufficient influence.

[Eric Oyen via PLUG-discuss]

yeah.
Btw, if anyone ever realized what went into so-called “green technologies”, 
they would be sick and then start screaming about how they were lied to. To 
begin with, anything that uses metals of any kind in it’s technological base is 
not green. Anything that uses long chain hydrocarbon composite materials in 
it’s manufacture is not green technology. In fact, when you weed out all the 
materials we use daily, there is no such thing as green technology.

I think that pretty much puts this to bed. Anyone want to discuss Linux now?
