I think you may mean watermark rather than waterproof!! But I don't think this prevents copying. This is extremely difficult to do effectively as it is so easy to find workarounds. The best way would probably to save each page as an image rather than text and then save it as .pdf - there may be an easy way to do this commercially, but it is unlikely to be cheap. You can set it as "read only" - but the problem here is that it is easy for anyone to "copy and paste", creating their own editable document. I had this problem recently and I resorted to hard copy. Quite a lot of printing (and then there is the cost of delivery). But I think this is really the only safe way. By the way I think that you will get far better feedback from hard copy. First they can write on your pages and secondly no-one will be frustrated from seeing only one screenful at a time. With hard copy you can stick fingers (or other bookmarks) into several different places to be able to flip back and forth....
