You are gravely mistaken if you think .pdf protects text at all... name a
small (10 pages or less) .pdf doc and I will a word doc of it in minutes...
..pdf is NOT a security format...

Warmest regards,
John

you can protect text in PDF format. I do it all the time so people cant
copy my work. Now they have to retype it

Maybe not the right place but seems there are several web experts here.

Can web spiders read and harvest e-mail addresses from a pdf file ?

Many users and folks like QRZ.com are using jpegs not ascii for listing
e-mails -- this seems to work.

So for pdf files without going to a jpeg --- is ascii text addresses
harvestable ?

Thanks
