Re: Possible to lock Word files/Decent Rtf viewer

Perhaps you just need to change your PDF settings. For instance, creating a
PDF at 600 DPI makes a lot more work and size than at 300 DPI. You may like
RTF, but unfortunately, it's little more than a pretty text file, and its
features are minimal. I am not aware of ANY application that produces
"unalterable documents", except perhaps Snapshot SNP files out of Access.
They could be alterable, tho, and I'm just not aware of it.
