Another option would be to include on the page footer &/or cover page
something like this:
"The original of this document is available at location XYZ. Any copies
elsewhere should be regarded as uncontrolled and unauthorised."
That way, if somebody has copied the document, and somebody else
unwittingly comes across the copy, they will immediately know where to
look to find the authorised original.
This should for instance easily meet obligations under an ISO 9000
quality management system regarding controlled copies of key
documentation. ISO 9000 doesn't require that uncontrolled copies should
never exist, but rather that the means exists for controlled copies to
be readily identified and accessed by those who need to do so.
