Protect an office document using PDF format

 

All documents, that are printable, like Word or Visio can be protected by creating a PDF file. See details PDF protection. This is the recommended and most flexible option.

 

Office 2007 comes with a free Add-In, which creates a PDF file and it supports hyperlinks. Just select File, Save As PDF. If this option is missing, you can download the Add-In here or search in the Word Online help for PDF.

 

If you do not have any PDF tool, download PDF creator: http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator/

It has not all the options the PDF Viewer offers but it requires no installation with administration rights on the end user PC.
