I followed the instructions and they work when opening the .pdf in Acrobat but not in Preview. In Preview, I was still able to 'grab' selections and windows. Is there a way to disable these functions in Preview by changing the .pdf security settings? Thanks

I routinely crack the supposed "protection" in pdfs, mainly to trim out the gumpf from the valuable stuff I'd like to use as reference. A password is not enough to lock out anyone wanting to access the content.
It shows a great deal of naïvety to take Adobe's security claims at face value.
Preview software/PDFs
