Hide/disable Save button in adobe in web browser

Question

Hi Greetings

Iam exporting a crsytalreport to pdf using asp.net 2003.

On executing the pdf report is opened in the default pdf reader(adobe reader 9 in my case) which is embedded in the browser (ie 8 in my case)

I need the report only to be viewed and to take print out and should not be allowed to be saved.

Well I need a way to disable the save button in the tool bar of the pdf reader,browser and disable the right click in pdf reader

Note: The print button should be left enabled

Softwares used

pdf reader : adode reader 9 browser : internet explorer 8 platform : asp.net2003

Please help me!

with thanks and regards Sathia

Answer 1

You can disable/enable certain operations on the PDF via encryption, but disabling the "Save A Copy" button isn't one of them. The PDF is already on the client side at that point, and Adobe's browser plugin always has that feature enabled.

Answer 2

You can only hide the menu bar.
