I am trying to convert a .DOC to a .PDF I have done that but I am looking for a way or a setting that would allow me to say no one can print off the .PDF. I would like them to be able to see it but not print it. Is this possible?
 
Hi

If you open the pdf file in Acrobat (full, not reader) you can set the document security to disallow printing.

File > document security

Set the security to acrobat standard security and when you see the security options screen tick the box which stops printing. Add a security password as well and then the file is locked.
