PDF Anti-Copy

If you are not the author of the PDF documents you are handling but still want to lock it to ensure the integrity of confidential file or contracts, then using a utility such as PDF Anti-Copy can make things smoother and convenient.

Following a quick and uneventful installation, you are welcomed by a modern looking interface that is easy to navigate and unlikely to give you any trouble, regardless of your previous experience with similar apps.

Protecting a PDF document is a quick and painless operation that entails four simple steps, namely selecting the desired file, the page, output folder and then hitting the start button. It is worth mentioning that the selecting the page is only available for documents that contain more pages solely.

As you probably hinted from the GUI, the program allows you to zoom in and out, an option that can surely help when analyzing a PDF file. In fact, the option can be quite useful when you are processing contracts that feature fine print or footnotes, as you want to make sure they are not altered in any way before reaching their designated recipients.

Besides disabling the permission to select the text from the document, the program also protects your PDF files from being converted with other third-party software solutions. While the operation can be carried out, the result is usually a blank page.

Unfortunately, the app does not have batch processing, so you need to process documents one at a time. The idea for the utility is to allow users to preview the content exactly as you send it but removes the possibility to copy or convert it.

In spite of the fact that it does not come with a batch processing capability, PDF Anti-Copy is a reliable tool that can help you protect your critical data from being copied, printed or converted to other formats that allow editing.
