 * Hi,
 * The plugin looks good. Can I please clarify this point about protecting against
   copying?
 * I understand that the plugin will stop the pdf being printed by the purchaser.
   Does it also stop the purchaser copying the pdf file by
    * simple copying of 
   the file (copy / paste) * saving with another name etc? * emailing the pdf to
   someone else?
 * Is the pdf vulnerable to the encyption being cracked by full commercial pdf applications,
   that might then allow the file to be copied as noted above?
 * Many thanks,
 *  [Andrew D](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew-d/)

 * ….continuing from the above – can the pdfs be protected against being Converted
   by applications such as Nitro Pro, Acrobat etc?
