Is there a way to create pdf files with ReportLab such that the file 
cannot be hacked?

I just received a promotional email from WinZip which offers similar 
functionality and it concerns me because the reason I want to create pdf 
output is so that the content cannot end up in a word processor to be 
edited or otherwise hacked.

Thanks
