 * Hello,
    My products are sold via pdf document. I want to protect them from being
   redistributed. I would like to allow customers to open and print the document.
   However, I do not want them to be able to save the file as they could potentially
   redistribute it for free. Is it possible to restrict saving for my pdf’s? If 
   not, do you have any other suggestions beyond password protection?

 * Hi EvolveWorkforce,
    There is no perfect way to protect PDF. You can take a look
   at ways to disable some of PDF features like described here: [http://smallbusiness.chron.com/prevent-saving-pdf-file-46223.html](http://smallbusiness.chron.com/prevent-saving-pdf-file-46223.html)
   or to stamp PDF with user details to discourage user from sharing the file like
