Permanently embed markups

Permanently embed markups
Wed, 14 May 2008 06:58:04 -070
Hi all,

I just started using Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 for Mac.

Can someone please tell me if it's possible to permanently embed markups into
the PDF document so someone else with Acrobat can't edit them?

In Acrobat for Windows you could print the pdf to pdf a second time, overwriting
the original file name, but you can't do this on the Mac.

Thanks

Nigel,

If you embed markups, someone can always crop them, unless you use some 
security settings. If you use password security settings, they are easy 
to by-pass. If you print the pdf to pdf (which you can also do on a Mac, 
print from Preview), you can loose important properties in your pdf if 
used---for example transparency. It is not recommended that you 
redistill a pdf, on Window or Mac.
