Tenuous link to Photoshop, but here goes
I want to display digital proofs to clients using a slideshow on a CD. I want to use the highest quality, but don’t want to give the client the opportunity to save (and print) them. I’ve looked at Photoshop CS’s PDF Presentation, and it seemed ideal, in that I can apply security to the PDF file to stop printing, Copy, Paste etc.
The problem is that when the PDF file is clicked, it does the smart thing and launches the slide show, with no menu bars and a black background but…… when the show is finished, the last picture just sits there. It took a while to discover that you have to press the "ESC" key to stop. This, however takes you to the Adobe Acrobat screen where all the individual pictures can be displayed. The client cannot Copy or Print, but they can press CTRL/Print Screen, and paste the picture into paint, then save it as a JPEG. It would be better if the PDF presentation quit and closed after the last picture (it would be better still if Acrobat disabled the "Print Screen" key). DAK if this is possible, or does anyone have another utility that will bundle the photos up into one big package that will not allow the user to copy from?
