Description

I've tried a billion tutorials trying to flatten my PDF's to secure the content so it cannot be copied and they either didn't work or I totally lost the quality of my content. But, I finally figured it out! This tutorial was written for Mac users (I'm currently using OS Sierra.) WITHOUT USING ADOBE ACROBAT PRO!

Note: It will not save hyperlinked images and will only preserve hyperlinks if the link is typed as is ... such as: http://blahblahblha.com and it has to all be on one line. I didn't even think about this when I published this tutorial, so I will add it to the file itself, but wanted to put it here as well. Please also note that saving individual pages as png or jpg will also not preserve hyperlinks.

ALSO: It has been brought to my attention that this doesn't work on all MACs, I am running OS High Sierra. And there is no way to prevent someone from taking a screenshot of an image that I know of.

Please do not republish this without written permission, thanks! :)
