What sombody at some security company figures out something which has been known for sometime and it a big deal now. if you have access to the source document and can open it their is no way you can stop from editing. I'm betting the same problem exsit in PDF as well.
The only way to keep this from happing is encrypt the document. but then the end users can't read it so whats the point.
