Re: Protecting e-mail addresses from spam

You misinterpreted my reply. I said I *didn't* think you had a problem...I
don't think the spambots crawl the pdf "image" for text...ie, for email
addresses. But you are asking a question that is best asked in an Adobe
newsgroup...ask there if a pdf file can be scanned for emails. I really
doubt it, but I could be wrong. Or Google it...

Thanks for your reply, David. I have hundreds of e-mail addresses to "
protect "...I was really hoping that since i had a click here link to take
you to the page where the e-mails are listed that they would be
safe...obvioulsy i am wrong??? The other process seems too lengthy... Is
there a general standard for protecting people's e-mail addresses that you
could fill me in on as we are adding this feature shortly, but I got to
wondering if i should be doing more to protect against spam etc.

I need advice on how to "protect" e-mail addresses from spam...I publish
a
series of webpages in .pdf format (the links are not active as i am
using
primopdf) which list an instructor's e-mail address. You need to first
click
on a link to get to the .pdf pages...is this enough of a seperation to
stop a
web harvesting of e-mail addresses?
