Hi

I'm new to use Adobe SDK and I'm wondering

1. if there is a way to disable the Save control such as the "Save a copy" control. Or even disable all tool bars

2. how to set password to a pdf file and how to open a password protected pdf file programatically without manually entering the password

Thanks for any advice
Jimmy

The reason I need to disable the Save control is because I don't want any user to be able to save a copy of the PDF file to the user's machine. What's the proper way of doing that?

Thanks
Jimmy

That's impossible. In order to open the file it must be saved on the local machine.

Hi try67,

Thanks for your reply. Let me explain in more detail what I would like to do

I'm writing a vb.net application to show pdf files stored on a server using AxAcroPDF control. However,
I don't want the user to be able to Save the PDF files on their local computer or Print the PDF files from the AxAcroPDF control.

My question is, is there a way to disable the "Save" or "Print" control from AxAcroPDF

Thanks
Jimmy
