PDF Project protection

[Mritunjay_g]

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
Mj

If you open the doc in Adobe's reader and press CTRL+D, does the security tab display the settings you think you should have?

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.

PDF readers are supposed to follow Adobe's policy for security, and should obey restrictions on open/modify at the very least. But there's no guarantee.

PDF properties in Reader activate from CTRL+D. The readers I've seen all implement some sort of Properties view, but not necessarily the same key combo. The PDF24 Reader, for example, has a doc properties panel in the left-hand sidebar accessed from an icon.

If your published PDF doesn't have the restrictions you configured, then it's time to submit a bug report.
