Sorry if this is old hat, but as long as you can print a PDF and have
Acrobat, you can edit the PDF by printing to a PostScript file and creating
a new PDF. Last time I checked via user forums, there is no way to allow a
PDF to be printed and prevent this workaround. I was frustrated to learn
this, but then it helped when I had to make corrections in a document
supposedly protected against editing.
