I work for a company that receives hundreds of PDF files from many different sources every day. I want to disable the printing feature for about 90% of my users. I was hoping there's a command line switch I can just put on those users PC's that would disable it. Some users have Acrobat Standard 5.0 and some have Acrobat Standard 8.0.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 5.x or older, Windows

The "hideMenuItem()" of the app object can be used. For version 7 and above there will need to be additional code due to security restrictions. See the Acrobat JavaScript reference for more information.

OK, is there a way to do it without being a JavaScript programmer? I am not a programmer and I was really hoping there was a very simple way to handle this.
