If you don’t want others to copy or change the content of your DOC documents, I think converting DOC to PDF is a pretty smart way to protect the DOC documents. Although Word provides two ways to set passwords, even you set both the open password and modify password, those who have the open password can still copy the content from the DOC file. I used this way to protect important DOC files, when I had no Adobe product on my computer. I don’t know why you want to convert DOC to JPG, but I would like to share my method with you on how to convert DOC to JPG via command line.
