Is it possible to prevent PDF from being saved from user's who are able to view?
I have been able to restrict printing, but cannot seem to find a way to prevent saving of the files.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Hi ndevine,

No, you can't prevent saving, period. Once a document is downloaded onto a uers system you cannot prevent them from saving the file, but you can have some control over what they can do with it. Take a look at the Adobe Document Center that offers a free trial through June on protecting your PDFs.

Hope that helps,
