    Anyone know how to make a pdf not able to be printed, cut and pasted, saved? (View Only) My boss asked me to find out. I really have no clue and I'm sleepy and figuring this is out is making me more sleepy. Thanks for any help!

    anything that can be seen on screen can be printed. even if they have to just screengrab it and print it.

    used the security features and disable printing and editabiliy or you can make it low res printing can still be screen grabbed but not in high res.

    You can lock down a PDF which requires a password to override, however as skt said that doesn't stop screengrab.

    When creating a PDF from InDesign go to security settings near the bottom.
