Prevent PDF from being saved
Quote from mark Lonardo on August 3, 2021, 5:50 pmWorking on a document control program.
I was wondering if there is a way to prevent a pdf from being "saved" or "saved as "after using pdfopen in a rectangle.
Can it be done internally in visualneowin, or would this be better implemented in Adobe Acrobat.
Right now my user can select a pdf to open from a database,
I can decrypt and display it but want to prevent resaving it in anyway.
I also would like to shield it from Snip and sketch type applications.

I hope it helps.

As I far I know you can set in Acrobat (when used to create the PDF) properties of what is allowed to do with the PDF.
(Also password protection)
So disable saving or printing can be set there. The official Reader should support this.
