Protecting a Document from Copy/Paste

mamanjojo1 -  
Hello,

I am self-employed and I send my quotes and invoices by email, which I create using LibreOffice Calc. I am desperately looking for a way to protect the documents from copying/pasting because one day a client modified the amount of the quote after a claim to get refunded more by their insurer. In the meantime, I convert files to PDF format online using this site:

https://tools.pdf24.org/fr/convertisseur-pdf

but I admit it takes longer… if you have any other solutions.

Thank you in advance

    Hello,
    with LibreOffice, there is the option to save directly as a PDF.

    To save as read-only, I found this method: file > properties > security > open the file as read-only. Save the changes.
    Rename it to keep the original file editable. You send the protected file to the person.

      Hello

      It's simpler, indeed: You click Print, and select the printer PDF; that will create a new file in PDF format ...
