Password protecting my documents

Hi everyone,

I'm using adobe acrobat pro, and have used the security feature to password protect the file to restrict editing.

Basically, I don't want anybody copying my work.

But even when I do that, all I have to do is make a copy of the document and all the restrictions are removed for that document.

Is there a better/easier way to stop others from editing/copying my work?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Correct answer margueritek

Acrobat remembers the security state of recently opened documents, so if you haven't closed the document, or even if you did and then reopened it, the "owner" security state (which is all permissions) is remembered. To test this you need to close Acrobat first.
