Are there any detailed steps discussing how to disable the right-click menu functionality in Adobe Reader X? I would like to prevent users from getting in to areas that have been hidden but even if I remove the toolbar items they can still get to them via the right-click menu.

My Product Information:
Reader 10.0.1, Windows

Hi,

I see that you're trying to strip down the functions of Adobe Reader X in many ways.
If you only want the users to be able to watch a PDF, you might use another viewer like MuPDF.

No, you can't prevent that. What exactly do you want to prevent the users from doing?

Look at Enterprise administration | Acrobat family of products for information on how to modify some setting through the registry. But this information is for enterprise installation and control of Adobe/Reader at an enterprise level and not for individual PDFs.Setting these options at an enterprise level affects how the application will alway run, so once you turn a feature off, it is off for every PDF. This action should not be taken lightly.
