PDF file created from Word secure images

I create a PDF file from Word 2013/2016 in which images are placed 'behind the text' or 'in the header'. When I send these PDF files to the recipient, the recipient can simply click and copy the images .... And I would like to prevent that. But how? Is there a way to protect a PDF document created from Word against this?

Thanks in advance.

You can protect the document with Adobe Acrobat. Info: this protection is not secure.

Thank you for your answer Bernd. The PDF-file will be created and sent throughout a VBA-routine. Maybe there is a way to use functions of an Adobe-API from within the VBA-routine to create the PDF from a DOCX-file. I am not a programmer myself, so maybe you can tell me if this makes sense....

Not possible with VBA.
