Anyone know a way to lock a document so it can't be printed or emailed to anyone else after I email a client. Gotta do a spec for a large commercial job and don't want my hard work spread about

Cheers

You could save it as a pdf with copy protection but someone could just take a screen shot and print that

You will just have to copyright it , and maybe put a warning on about intellectual theft.
But if they want it they will have it.

Save it as a pdf.

Make it a read only document

I would have thought the problem of cowboys going around offering to beat anyone else's quote would have been something you see more on domestic jobs; the kind of company who do "large commercial jobs" would want to do their own quotes so they know they've got it right.

Different quotes aren't always comparable either - some companies pride themselves on always doing a 'proper job' while others just try to offer the cheapest quote by cutting corners.

Personally I think it's every consumer's right to be able to compare prices and shop around for the best deal. If they choose to do business with 'budget' companies then that's their lookout.

Add a water type Mark and print to pdf and copyright it.

Yeah got tucked up over extras on a periodic with the give us a quote for remedials and I don't think they'll pay 30k if they won't pay £800 extra tbh
