It depends what data it is. Star Force afaik is only for executables.

Normal data can simply be copied.

You would have to have a reader application on the CD, and only that reader can read the data. Depends if you want to go that far.

What kind of data is it ? Documents ?

Bottom line - you can't make it copy proof you can only make it difficult to copy.

Since there were no further questions from nnnddd, I assume that his question was answered. Imo all participating experts made valid helpful comments, and a PAQ would allow others to see them.
CD is not a reliable media to lock your PDFs to.

It's better to look for solutions which can protect and lock down the PDF contents of your CD to users specific computers.
