[Web4lib] PDF restrictions

[Robert L. Balliot]

Greetings,

Here is a link to an example of a pdf that is
very difficult to alter or save.  It is created
with OmniForm for pdf.  I don't think that
you can lock it up this way if it was sent by
e-mail.  But, embedded in the security of a web
site, you might be able to get right effect.

It cannot be printed using Cutepdf.

If you review File/ Document Properties you can
see the settings that were used.

Is there a particular reason you'd like to share that requires you to
have this restriction?  My imagination is wandering with visions of
super-secret 'eyes only' messages being sent through e-mail.
