Export encrypted PDF as Word

Hi there,

I was wondering, if AR allows for exporting encrypted PDF as Word documents?

I have these PDFs that I send out to individuals and I need them to be encrypted so that no one can modify them or save them as WORD or anything else.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

    Also keep in mind this wouldn't keep someone from getting a screenshot and running OCR on it to create a new doc.

    As mentioned, the full version of Acrobat can export to Word. Also, you can set a password for the document that can limit what can be done with/to the document in many different ways. Keep in mind that it is like putting a plastic padlock on your shed. If someone wants to get in, they can but it's fine for the average user.
