Disabling print option in pdf when opening pdf file from sharepoint library using sharepoint 2007

Question

hi... to all,

i want to disable pdf options from pdf file while opening pdf file from sharepoint library in sharepoint 2007.

please help me, thanks in advance

Answer 1

this has nothing to do with sharepoint but rather the pdf itself. Google has lots of information on blocking printing with various programs, as well as ways to get around this block.

here is an article on how to disable print in acrobat - http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Miscellaneous/Q_20640736.html

Answer 2

Look at using Information Rights Management with Share Point.

See this link: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointecm/thread/62a45b16-4f0c-467e-8bf6-7338ea0f4b7d

You will need to install a PDF protector on your web front end, and configure the sharepoint library etc.
