May not be the right place to ask, but I'm looking for a solution

I only want to stop people from copying text &Images out of the

If you can print it, you can extract it. Even if printing is
disabled, a user could still take screen shots of the pages in question.
If you describe more of what you are doing, maybe we can offer
alternatives...
For example if you are distributing icons and you want to protect the
images you can make a low-resolution watermarked version that is
available for anyone to read. Then for the paying customers, you can
set up password-protected high-resolution PDFs without the
watermark. It still doesn't protect the images from the stubborn,
but it should help reduce problems.
