Martin -

There is no way to protect the author's content.
Open a PDF or PPT document and go to the "File" menu.
In PDF, you'll see an option to "Save as Text".
In PPT, you'll see a "Save As" and the options given include RTF.
If the authors of those documents think that PDF or PPT is going to protect
it from getting stolen, they're wrong.
