 * Hi!
 * I need to block the text selection on my PDF, when i exported the PDF with Adobe
   i checked the option “block text selection”, but when i upload the file in the
   PDF Viewer, the text can be selected.
 * Thanks in advance

 * This option is not supported in this PDF reader. I believe it only applies to
   PDFs read in the official Adobe PDF reader.
 * A workaround would be to save the PDF content as pictures within the PDF, in 
   which case there wouldn’t be any text to select.
