Thank you Trent,

I did so, those are the settings done by Adobe but I confirming the settings done on PDF output by MadCap Flare. Those settings I have seen failing.
Can it work on any machine irrespective of the environment?

Thank you Trent for your time.

Hello All,

I am generating the PDF output with all protection parameters. Still, I am able to copy-paste the content in a few cases.
Does it mean that restriction permission will work only on the said version of Acrobat Reader?
Can anyone have encountered such an issue?

Thank you all in advance

Hi Trent,

Hi All, Just confirming, does MadCap Flare provides copy protected feature? I have single-source documentation across the companies, and I don't want them to copy my content.
