Title: IT Question Post by: Bushey Boy on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 11:50:36 Anyone know how you easily chnage a word document, like a statement into a pdf so they cannot play with it?
Title: IT Question Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 11:51:25 Download win2pdf (it's free) and will install itself as a printer.
Print to it and it will create a PDF file. Note - the free version adds a page to end of the doc saying it was produced from a free version. Title: IT Question Post by: Bushey Boy on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 11:52:05 Ah ok, can I do it so it just saves it, or does it have to be printed?

Title: IT Question Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 11:52:52 It prints it to a file, so just saves it.
Title: IT Question Post by: Bushey Boy on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 11:53:18 ah how do I password protect it?
Title: IT Question Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 11:57:43 have you tried turning it off and on again?
Title: IT Question Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 11:59:44 You don't need to.
Once it is a PDF they cannot change it. Unless of course they have a full version of Adobe Acrobat or In Design which is pretty unlikely. Title: IT Question Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 12:48:27 Unless you do i what i have done which is use a similar program to the above mentioned one, which allows you to print pdfs to html, rtfs and docs. Which is nice. :)
To be honest, pdfs are far from as secure as people think, if you can read it, a program can read it and therefore copy it. I used to have some kind of OCR program that could actually take pretty much any document's contents and make it editable. Title: IT Question Post by: Bushey Boy on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 12:49:43 You guys are far to complex, I just want people to be able to read it and print it, is this not just a couple of clicks of the mouse?!
Title: IT Question Post by: janaage on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 12:55:31 Bushey do the Pdf converter thing, it's well easy, we use it at work, and yes you could edit it if you really wanted to, but from what you're saying you just want a printable document that isn't "over typable", which is what the pdf does.
Title: IT Question Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 12:56:19 What people are saying ash, is that you can never make it impossible for them not to edit it if they really want to.
just pdf it and be on your way. Title: IT Question Post by: Hexagon on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 12:58:03 Open Office allows you to save a word document as a pdf.
Title: IT Question Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 12:59:38 Open office is ace.

Yeah, but that's because we've got a proper full license for Adobe Acrobat.
