disable selecting text

[ojhk]

I would like to know if there any way to disable selecting text for regular texts when I created pdf from word?

I am using Adobe Acrobat pro 2022.

I want to make my created pdf files to unable to select/copy text Same as"can't copy" attachment ?

Is there any direct method or option in acrobat to do that ? see attachment below.

The second file doesn't contain text. It contains an image of text, which is why you can't select it.

To do the same export your PDF file as images, and then create a new PDF file from those images.

However, someone with Acrobat will be able to run Text Recognition on it, and get selectable text once more...

Another option is to apply a security policy that prevents content extraction. That would work if the file is opened in Adobe software, but might not work in other applications.
