How to stop a signed PDF from being printed or copied
You can change the settings on your final PDF to prevent it being copied or printed. This is a feature within a PDF itself.
You can do this in two ways. Either at the team level, or as you send out a document to be signed.
Change setting at the team level:
Admins can set their group default within ‘Admin > PDF Security > PDF Security Options’. You will see the options:
- Do not allow copying
- Do not allow printing
Change this as you send out a document:

Users can also apply the settings on a document-by-document basis.
On the send page, after your add a document, you will see the buttons “Signed PDF copying” and “Signed PDF Printing” at the foot of that document section.
When a little tick mark appears, copying and printing are enabled. If they are disabled there will be an ‘x’ mark.
