hyperref(?): making a PDF file read only
I know that it is possible to 'secure' a PDF file from being modified by another. For example, pdfFactory has options to prevent changing a PDF file. Does Latex also support setting such options? I read a hyperref manual, but couldn't find options for that.

hyperref(?): making a PDF file read only
I guess that hyperref doesn't have the capability to do that. But you can try pdftk. It offers many ways to handle PDF files.

I also think that pdftk is the right tool...Thank you very much, Thorsten! I didn't know that tool.
I downloaded a hyperref manual of September 2008 which describes more than 50 commands targeting PDF files, so I expected hyperref might be able to do that
