My book is a PDF download that costs money and I want to prevent people from copying and uploading to Google or other sites for public viewing.
Users need to print the file but I don't want them to copy it. How do I accomplish this?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 8.1.2, Windows

you can't prevent people copying files available on the internet, this goes for any file.

Consider publishing the book via an online publisher something like the Adobe Adept service:
