Copy protected PDF, Google and search engines indexing?

[sbenedetti]

Hi,

I'd like to publish some secured PDFs disallowing the copy to clipboard.

My question is: are Google and other search engines able to indexing correctly PDF or they requires the copy to clipboard options?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor English.

Most indexing engines use the IFilter technology to indes PDF files.

We have a small program that will extract text from a PDF file using the IFilter technology. It is avaliable here:

If you can extract text from your PDF file using that program then the search engines will most likely be able to index your content.
