ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Did you (or your company) create these documents with Adobe Acrobat? If so, you can specify exactly what can be done with a document, including being printed.I don't know if we have many users here who know Acrobat; there is a user forum for Acrobat at http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungrum Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 You mean you also want to protect Word and Excel documents from being printed?Yes, I want to protect the "printer".Users can only print specific URL, any other print operation is forbiddenBut the important point is that users can view all documents but can print only a subset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 That may not be possible with standard methods; you may have to write your own application / printer interface, that will allow or disallow printing of certain documents.
