I am very concerned about a pdf document that I am working and getting ready to publishing.

I know there are programs on the web that can remove the protection from pdf files.

Is there a way I can protected my pdf file in Acrobat so that these programs can not crack them and remove the protection?

What specifically are you trying to prevent users of the document from being able to do?
