KPDF can do this, it's what it's "protect" tab does. Of course the copier can type the text back, but it will at least make him do some work. Join Date Aug Posts It requires encryption and a password to be supplied. See the allow command of pdftk. This sort of "protection" only works when all PDF viewer apps cooperate. It is always possible to crack the password and modify the "permissions".
A "rogue" app can be used to do this. Therefore this should not be relied upon for secrecy but simply to make things a little more difficult for the casual viewer to bypass.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Not as part of another page. Right-click inside the PDF. This displays a pop-up menu where you right-click on the document. Alternatively, some web browsers may have an icon that resembles a floppy disk Microsoft Edge , a page with an arrow inside Firefox or a line with an arrow pointing down over it Google Chrome. This is the "Save" icon. If you are using Safari on Mac, click File in the menu bar at the top of the screen. It's in the pop-up menu that appears when you right-click inside the PDF.
This opens a file browser you can use to save and select files. Some websites will have links to downloadable PDF files much like any other downloadable file. To download these files, click on the link, then select where you want to download the file and click Save.
Choose the location where you want to save the file. Use the file browser to navigate to where you want to save the PDF. You can click the Quick Access folders in the left-side bar of the file browser to select a location. Type a name for the PDF optional. Click Save.
It's in the lower-right corner of the File browser window. This will save the PDF file to your hard drive in the location you have specified. Method 2.
Open your PDF reader. Double-click the app icon to open the PDF reader. If you are running it for the first time, it may need to complete the setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process. To find the PDF reader on Mac, click the icon that resembles a magnifying glass in the upper-right corner.
Type the name of the PDF reader application in the search bar. Acrobat has a plug in, "webpdf. When it does its' conversions, there is a great risk that JavaScripts will be lost.
Copy and paste. If you need '! Save and run. Under the examples directory, there are some files, which you could use when you run the programs, so it might be a good idea to extract the programs to that directory.
Also unzip the files from unzipThis. It only produces an warning that it's too late for this switch. If you work under Unix you probably have to add that to all the examples. If you want to run a program under a web server, you can probably replace the line with prFile.. The line with prText is a directive to put a text pixels to the right and pixels up.
If you haven't stated anything else the font will be Helvetica and 12 pixels, the page format will be pixels wide and pixels high. Later on you will see how to change that. There are many other default values. If you skip the line with prText, you get an empty page. In fact that can be very useful if you want to work with JavaScript. The last line is also necessary to write page structure and other things to the disc and to close the current file.
This little program gives you a hint why I wrote the module as functional. It is slow to start, because the module is big, but then it should be fast.
On my old computer it defines at least a thousand pages per second, and the capacity should be sufficient. You can easily increase the number of pages to This program is not as fast as the previous one. It is internally more complicated. On my PC with Windows, it also seems like the operating system needs much time to catalogue each file. Here we produce documents. When you define a new file the old one is automatically written. You have to set font and font size for each file if you are not satisfied with Helvetica Now we come to a real reason why PDF::Reuse is needed.
It gives you a possibility to reuse pages from a PDF-file as a form or background. It can be used as a template. In this example we are going to send a letter a physical letter to be printed to some of our customers. We imagine that the vice president will give some views about what happened last year. First he writes a letter in Word. It is converted to PDF. Look at next example if you want to do everything with PDF::Reuse directly.
Then you get a better result. But a vice president wouldn't work like that. He would like to use a tool like Word. He knows it and it's convenient, and that's also ok. Anyway, when PDFMaker has generated the file, you have to do a little trick. If it is an important file, take a copy of it first.
You open the file in Acrobat. Choose the TouchUp tool for text, and remove 1 letter e. By doing so, you will fool Acrobat to concatenate all streams of the page. It can then be transformed to an "XObject", which is a very practical format.
PDF::Reuse can now use it as a background or template. When you downloaded the module I hope you also got 'lastYear. A little text file holds names and addresses. In reality these things should be taken from a database, and you could produce a file for many thousand customers. Look at the template. It is 50 kB and the file we just produced has 5 pages, using the template on every page. Yet our new file is only 43 kB.
It looks a little bit confusing. PDF::Reuse only used something like 41 kB of the template. It was defined once and then the "PDF-code" referred to it, each time it was used. You can get very compact lists in this way.
Try with a template of your own and several thousand customers, and you will see that this an excellent way of producing long lists in a very compact format. If you would had needed some bars for an enveloping machine, you could had added a snippet of code just before prPage.
Here we use the graphic operators of PDF. We put the code in a string, and add it to the "content stream" of the current page. I don't remember exactly the distances between the bars, but it could be something like this. If you think it is too complicated to program the bars, you could have painted them in some program and added them to the word-document.
That would also have been better, because you would have had the bars defined only once in the document, and not on every page. Ok, if you want to avoid commercial tools like Word and Acrobat, you have to work a little bit harder, but it is possible to get a better result.
