there is one thing you can do, i've seen this in some papers (journals)
convert your work to image .. and then convert to pdf.
so now pdf content cannot be copied as text or converted to word in text form.

its quite safe

hi

hmm yes good idea alib_i. thanks a lot
i dont think may need to put that image into PDF, since already text is converted to image, people can save the image to read the text, that way atleast they'll remember the source :)

ohh wait...oh my god... :eek: i used it and it gives me about 30 image files coz the HTML has lotsa text...hmm good tho. hmm lets see i think i gotta think of somehow altering this to my needs :D

well pdf formats are the best avilable for documents

they are compressed and give lower sizes even if they contain images

like the digit full magazine pdf..only 11 mb and 120 pages with images

@nix ..
reduce the text size .. probly u'll get less no. of images

but i must tell you .. there are software which can extract text out of images. but they're rare and very few people know abt them .. and even rarer bunch have them
so lets just say .. you're relatively very safe
