How to create a PDF with Only Read Property

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I have a big question:

How can I create an Smartform which can be exported in an Only Read PDF ?

I need to do that for creating a PDF file which information can not be copied.

Is that Possible?

Thanks!!!

Hi,

the nature of a PDF file is that it cannot be modified, only read with Adobe Reader, and not only once downloading the form from SAP but with any tool. What you pretend is impossible, because there are many tools in the market for making the PDF files either editable or per Copy + paste you can process the texts in Word or any software.

Search in the internet (www.download.com) if there´s a software that can lock your file, but I am sure that this will not work in conjunction with SAP during generation of file; it´s going to be a manual work.
