Making PNG and JPG non-editable in PDF.

Question

Hi,I am trying to export a PDF with a logo and other elements but PDF is converting it into editable text which I want to disable so that no one can edit the logo. Is there any way to disable it?Thank you.

Go to Options (or the File menu, on older versions) - Properties - Security and select Password Security, then enter the password and select which actions you want to allow:

If you want to convert type into an image, to prevent editing, you can use a preflight fixup to convert all page content to an image. Tools> Print Production> Preflight> Fixups (blue wrench icon). You can adjust the output resolution and other settings by editing the preflight (make a duplicate first).

Your question is not very clear. Are you exporting a PDF to another format, which you then want to make uneditable (if so, I don't believe that's possible if you export to JPG/PNG), or are you creating a PDF file, which you then want to protect (if so, it's only partially possible)?
