This tutorial demonstrates how to convert a Word document into a PDF that prevents users from copying the text. By selecting "Save As" and creating a PDF within Microsoft Word, the resulting document allows text to be copied. To protect the text, simply open the PDF in Acrobat Reader, go to File > Print, and choose "Microsoft Print to PDF" in the advanced settings. Selecting the option to print as an image will prevent text copying. Failure to select this option allows text to be copied, as shown in the tutorial.
