PDF document Print Privileges isn't applied when document is opened in other browsers

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Setting up document privilege works perfectly when document is opened via Adobe or Microsoft Edge but when opening the pdf document in browsers such as google chrome the permission restrictions are not applied.

Snippet of my code:

   Dim document = New Aspose.Pdf.Document(fileName)
   Dim privilege As Aspose.Pdf.Facades.DocumentPrivilege = Aspose.Pdf.Facades.DocumentPrivilege.ForbidAll
   privilege.AllowPrint = False

Hi, @Akif_Hussein !
Please try this:

Imports Aspose.Pdf.Facades

Module Program
    Sub Main()

        ' Create DocumentPrivileges object
        Dim privilege As DocumentPrivilege
        privilege = DocumentPrivilege.AllowAll
        privilege.AllowPrint = False

        ' Create PdfFileSecurity object
        Dim fileSecurity = New PdfFileSecurity()
        fileSecurity.BindPdf("sample.pdf")
        fileSecurity.SetPrivilege(privilege)
        fileSecurity.Save("sample_privileges.pdf")
    End Sub
End Module

We tested the snippet above in Google Chrome. Please take into account that some PDF Readers and Viewers skip privileges. So, if the issue is still reproduced, please let us know which app you see it in.
