Protecting pdf files from duplication


Cad Monkey 2

Recommended Posts

So newer versions of Acad have a built in pdf creater, which is awesome - it even handles raster images well.

 

But, it also (in my experience) shows all of the layers as well, which can be turned on and off. This is cool, but sometimes I want to make sure that no one can easily convert my pdf sheets into dwg files, and if they do I at least don't want all of the layers separated for them already!

 

Anyone know how to get the pdf to not have layers? I don't have the full version of Adobe Reader, so using that to lock the files is out.

Select DWG to PDF pc.3 as printer, select Properties, select Device and Document Settings tab, select Custom Properties in tree, select Custom Properties button, at bottom deselect box for "Include layer information"
