Hi,

I need to disable printing possibility for a PDF file using Debenu library.

My viewer will be free Acrobat reader.

Is it possible to do that?

Hi Ag,

there's no really save functionality but ...

You should read about three main functionalities regarding your issue:

SetViewerPreferences:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetViewerPreferences.php

EncodePermissions:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/EncodePermissions.php

Encrypt:

If you have problems writing your very first "hello world" then you should read the samples and first step guides on the official support pages starting from here:

Cheers and welcome here,

Ingo

Thank you Ingo,

Is it just working for a new PDF that you creating with the Lib, or Could we load any PDF from any other source, make our changes like suppress printing, save it and expect to see the results in any other PDF reader like AcroPDF Reader 7.0 that I can use it free in VB6.
