Lock PDFs Opened in Edge - How to stop searching?
Edge has a newer feature where it will allow searching in scanned PDFs. I help proctor open book (the book being a pdf) exams where we lock the PDF and scan them as photos to stop searching. This locked things pretty well for most programs/computers and made it easier to proctor. But now Edge can bypass that, and becuase it is a popular browser it causes more issues for us.
Yes, we forfeit their exam if caught cheating so in the end consequences of their own actions; however, that's IF we catch them. Also, we don't really want to forfeit exams and yes people will cheat no matter what, but we want to lessen their ability. It makes for a more positive exam environment for them and for us proctors.
Any ideas on how to better lock the PDFs or stop the new Edge feature so people can't text search?
