securing content of the site

1
I am doing a website for a dog breeder. I need to protect pictures and text. I have disabled right click, used the meta tag:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">
disabled select text, so at this point viewers can't copy the pics with right click, can't select the text, and when they try to do a File, Save As, html page, they get an error that says "page cannot be saved". BUT, if someone has Acrobat, they can save it as a PDF file and grab the whole site...and of course that gives them the graphics and the text. All pages are set up as Frames, so when they "view source" they just see the Frames code. Is there any way that I can secure this site, whether, it's individual frames or at the Index level, so that it can't be save as a PDF or any other format. I'm a novice when it comes to websmithing and am just trying to help this small breeder out, but, I've now maxed my little bit of knowledge...
Any help will be greatly appreciated

I don't see what this has to do with Java so I'll move you to the Javascript forum.

I'm sorry but nothing is secure on the client-side. Someone determined enough will get all the information that you display. The things that you have tried will only prevent the low-tech users.

To prevent users copying your images, just watermark them.

As for text, well, someone could just view source and grab the text from there. If it's really valuable (no idea why it would be) and you've used some advanced techniques, they could just disable javascript. If you've used javascript to construct the text using some encoding/decoding, and they're so determined, they could even type it all out again!

You get the gist. If you want something to be secure, don't display on the client-side.
