Acrobat itself has a security option but if you are generating the document via a different method you may not be able to set it properly.

i generate a PDF but it opens using the adobe reader installed at the client place . Is there a possiblity like to install the PDF acrobat diablinhg editing.

I stall Acrobat after diabling it from editing , can v do this ?
>> i generate a PDF

HOW do you generate the PDF?  Dynamically or via the Adobe Distiller?
this is a third party tool and absolutely no idea on what tey have used , i assume thats being generated dynamically.
>> absolutely no idea on what tey have used

You need to find that out.  It may be you can change the settings in the script used to generate the PDF to enable the security but more likely this is not possible short of manually opening the file in Acrobat and enabling security there.
but if i remove Adobe acrobat proffessional from my client end and install only Adobe reader then it would solve the prob for time being rite , my cleints would not be able edit the PDF if only reader is present in their machines rite ?
