How to generete PDF's where 'Text selection' is NOT allowed
Dear FOP users,
Is there a way to generate PDF in which the security property 'Text
selection' is switched off?
If this is not possible using FOP, does any one know how to postprocess a
PDF (automatically on a Linux machine) to switch this text selction off?
Thanks,
Dirk

Er - dunno. Sorry.

I seem to recall someone talking about some PDF post processors which could add
in the security features built into PDF. No doubt Adobe Acrobat could do it,
but I assume you want something a bit less heavilyweight.
Looking at the archives

Perhaps you could investigate whether there are some open source pdf post processors
and email your findings here.
Thanks
