I have a problem with a PDfF file that I want to be locked for others so that it can't be copied and pasted into other documents. As it is now, even thouugh I have used the protect tool, the file can be opened in a new window. It will then be like a normal web page. The watermark disappears. Can be copied and pasted into other documents.

As far as I've understood (I'm helping out my brother) it opens from a window server in an Intranet. When the file opens up in acrobat reader (?) in a new tab it will then be like a normal web page, the watermark disappears an it can be copied and pasted into other documents as I mentioned before

Here are two print screens, the first from the file opened as a new page and the second a copy directly from the opened PDF. Both are CntrlC CntrlV in a Word document.

Your brother should open the file in Acrobat Reader, not in a web browser.
