Yet another aspect of PDF file security is the Copy Protection. This mechanism however is redundant due to internet's expansion and must be deployed along with either of the above 2 for desired result

Digital Rights Management of a PDF file implies the permissions that individuals have for certain processes on the file such as printing, copying etc. PDF files can be made secure in this regard also.
