I would like to edit protect parts of a pdf and leave the remaining parts unprotected. How can that be done?

PS! I know how to protect the entire document, but that is not what I want.

Protect against what, exactly?

I want to protect parts of a PDF so that the contents of these sections cannot be copied via copy/paste. It should still be possible to copy the remaining parts of the document.

In my original post, I used the term 'edit protect' because that's the term Adobe uses for protection against editing, copying, and printing.

Is it clear what I mean?

Yes, but there's no way to do that, unless you convert those texts to an image ("outline" them), but someone would still be able to extract those images and run Text Recognition on them to get the text...
