I want to save a PDF document, but have it save as non searchable or image only format. I am opening Microsoft documents using Acrobat Pro 7.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0.1, Windows

You can Export a PDF to an image format like TIFF and then open it up again in Acrobat. If you don't OCR the text in the newly created PDF (that was previously a TIFF) then it won't be searchable.

If you're trying to prevent copying/pasting in the document then you can use password security to do this.

Is there a simpler method? Can we use the PDF Print driver? Or "Save as: PDF" with Word 2007?
