PDF Security Issues

[Cergorach]

You can copy protect a book by printing it on high-gloss paper so that the photocopier just spits out black smeary mush when you try to "copy" the book. How this is similar to a copy/paste bit in a PDF, I have no idea.

*chuckles* Then you my man, have the wrong copier. If people can read it, it can be copied, steps can be taken that will make copying more difficult, but it's still possible.

The reason people should print their books on high-gloss paper is because it creates a high quality product that people will want to buy instead of having a copy on copypaper...
