PDF with edit protection will require Acrobat which most people wont have... Perhaps converting it into Flash might help but not sure.... Or posting it at the last minute....

Easiest option is to zip it with password and inform the professor what the password is...

in word 2003

go to tool -> option -> securioty ->

give password to open file even for to edit the file

that will allow to copy in drive but not allow to open means the content of file will not visible to any till user does't supply correct password to open



even in advance it provide diff. encrypton algo. for passwords
