Pam,
I think Adobe Acrobat is just what you need. You can set the security
options to not allow changing of the document.
File size is relative. I've found it always _reduces_ the file sizes
of my Pagemaker documents, especially if they contain EPS graphics.
Sometimes the file size reduction is dramatic.
Regards,
LaVonna
