When i copy my signature (for hardcopies) onto a wordfile and i wish to make it impossible for others to retrieve it from the pdf file.

How can i realise this?

Hi frankv,

That isn't something that you can do during the conversion process. But, with Acrobat, you can apply security constraints to the file, which would prevent people who are viewing the PDF from copying the contents of the PDF. See Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords for more information. If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to give it a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

Best,

Sara
