How to restrict content with Adobe Reader?

[gokhan_eser]

Hi, I am editing a PDF file with Adobe Reader. I need your help on a topic. In the PDF file I create, the text can be edited, but I do not want the images to be copied.

How can I do that ? If you help me with this, you will make me very happy.

I uploaded a sample image below.

You cannot edit with Reader. You can edit documents with Acrobat Pro or Standard. When possible it is better to recreate the pdf file.

I think I made a mistake in the title, I apologize.

Open the "Properties" for the PDF file. Select the "Security" tab. You can now set the type of password to use and then you can set the 'Document Open" and the "Permissions" passwords. Note that these are two different options which can be individually or jointly set but they should have different passwords.

Make sure you read, understand and accept the warning about third party tools. Don’t be surprised later.

The file belongs to me and there is no security restriction at this time. I will make the file safe.

This is what I want;

Another person can edit texts. I will restrict pictures and other content. I ask how do I do that?

You can't, unless those texts are a part of a form field or a comment.

There are not enough resources in my language. As much as I can, I did research information English language. But I could not reach the result.

How will it be? Do you have an article or video that I can examine about it?

After going to File - Properties - Security change the value of the "Security Method" drop-down from "No Security" to "Password Security", and this dialog will appear:

Here you can set two types of passwords: One that is required to open the file and one that is required to edit it.

If you select the second one it will also allow you to select what you want kind of changes to allow, and what not to allow.

For example, in this dialog I've allowed printing the file and filling in form fields, but not extracting pages or copying any of the contents of the file:

The you enter your password(s), confirm them and press OK. Save the file (preferably under a new name), close it, and then next time you open it it will be secured.

Thank you for the answer.

I don't fully understand. How do I make '' Not Allowed '' fields? Could you explain that?

In short you need to change the security method to "Password security" and make suitable choices. As I said, you will get a warning. Make sure you understand the very serious implications of it.
