How to disable the print option in A. Reader (in JavaScript)

[Former Community Member]

I need be able to disable the print option from JavaScript code. I know that the print option can be disabled in the
"File > Form preferences > PDF Security" option in the main menu but i need to do this from a script into the document (
preferably in JavaScript language).




Thanks in advance!

The closest you can come using JavaScript is hiding the menu item and toolbar button. Take a look at the Acrobat JavaScript refence and the app.hideToolbarButton and app.hideMenuItem methods. http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/javascript/AcroJSGuide.pdf



However, any savvy user can still print by hitting CTRL-P or right clicking and choosing Print.

HI!

I have the same problem =)

I have fixed this issue using the "app.fs.isFullScreen = true;" statement.

Doing this you don't see toolbar anymore.



You can use "hideToolbarButton" instruction and, maybe, you can obtain a more interesting result.



Below there is a very interesting document:
