I need to share a PDF but I don’t want recipients to copy text or content from it.

This feature helps you share a PDF while discouraging recipients from copying its text or content. It supports safer distribution of sensitive materials by limiting easy reuse of what’s inside the document.

This feature is designed for situations where you need to distribute a PDF but want to reduce the risk of its contents being copied and reused. It focuses on protecting text and other selectable content so recipients cannot easily extract it for unauthorized sharing. You can apply the protection before sending the file, so the same PDF can be distributed to multiple recipients with consistent restrictions. This is useful for documents containing proprietary information, internal policies, paid reports, or drafts that should be reviewed but not repurposed. By discouraging copy/paste and content extraction, it helps maintain control over how your material is used. The feature supports sharing workflows where recipients can still open and read the PDF, but are less able to reuse its content outside the document. It can be used alongside other document-sharing practices, such as limiting distribution or providing watermarked review copies, depending on your needs. It is especially helpful when sending files to external partners, clients, or large groups where you cannot rely on individual compliance. Use it when confidentiality, intellectual property, or controlled distribution is important for your PDF content.
