How to programatically create non-editable PDFs?

Question

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to create PDFs which are non-editable programatically? I want to automatically generate a PDF which cannot be editable using a PDF tool. Everything I can see is based on using the security settings manually within the Acrobat tool, but I wanted to know if there is another option?

Thanks..

Hi,

I honestly don't know what you mean by programatically in this context but I can suggest that once you finish editing the document with Adobe Acrobat Pro you can save the form as Reader Extended.

Go to File, select Save As Other, Reader Extended, More Tools
