How to Protect PDF from Editing and Copying

One of the biggest advantages of using the Portable Document Format over the other document formats (like .doc or .docx) is that you can always protect your document in the PDF file to prevent it from being opened, copied, edited and printed.

I'm about to launch a comic in both digital and physical formats and was very worried about the digital version being edited/stolen. This helped a lot, thank you!

[@alexartsdecorative7705]

Good , but there are web pages that remove the password, is there any other way to protect from editing and copying ( at least) an ebook when for selling it ?

[@darksin7]

Nice video. I have a question, what happens if someone tries to edit the pdf using another pdf tool? Can they edit it without the password?

[@PDFelement]

PDFelement has different options for password setting. At the changes permission setting, there has an option "Actions Allowed - insert, delete and rotate". People who open the file on another pdf tool still can edit it.
