How do restrict the ability of the user to use the save button in a PDF?

Hi hulk,

In the File->Document Properties of that PDF click the security tab and add security to the document and only allow the document to be printed, remove all change permissions and users can save a copy of the original but won't be allowed to add any annotations or changes to the document.

If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.
