it will be published in PDF format. (The first time I've ever done<br>
that.) Sales will be over the internet, so I'm trying to figure out how<br>
I can stop piracy.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't know about your specific question, but people will always be able to copy thet actual PDF (that is copy the PDF file). So locking the PDF won't prevent piracy.</div><div><br></div><div>Also I think disabling the ability to copy text from the PDF will also kill any possibilities for example for blind people to use text to speech software (might not be an issue for you, depending on the contents of the book).</div><div><br></div><div>/Peter</div><div><br></div><div> </div></div></div>
