PDF security problem

Question

I'm looking for a program that allows me to export a document to PDF safely, so that other users can open it but can not copy or print its contents.

While I used Windows I used PDF printers such as PDF24 and BullZip, which allowed me to create documents with these characteristics. But when I opened these documents from my Ubuntu with Okular or Document Viewer, all safety features disappeared. So, I could copy and print documents protected by Windows on Ubuntu.

My question then is: how I can protect PDFs on all platforms? I'm looking for something easy to use because it will be used by people who have NO extensive knowledge in computers.

Thanks a lot.

Have you tried CutePDF ?
From their documentation, the paid version seems to be able to set security policies, such as password protection and print protection

Try using pdfTweak. It permits encrypting pdf files amongst other functionality.

Alternatively, you may use pdftk.
