Correct and off course the question is: how secure do you want it.<br />
<br />
The thing is that I have several 'tools' to remove these protections from pdf's which then leave you with an editable document again.<br />
On the other hand, you can still use ocr on a picture and try to make it editable.<br />

True, but unfortunately anything in a digital format is subject to tampering provided the person has the tools and is willing to spend the time/effort.

Dear experts,<br />
<br />
Just want some idea on securing PDF conversion.<br />
<br />
We are an accountancy practise and email accounts to clients. We normally convert Word documents into PDFs and send the PDFs to client. However with more and more software which will be able to &quot;edit&quot; PDFs (even freebies!!) does anyone know of something that is uneditable?<br />
<br />
Just looking for some advice. Any idea appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
