1. Input PDF - Test.pdf
2. Generated PDF - Test_NoPrint.pdf (Password : owner)
3. Code - NoPrintPDF.txt

Hi Prabu,


Thanks for using our API.

Aspose.Pdf for Java offers the feature to create as well as manipulate existing PDF files and it can only perform manipulation at file level. However the print button is appearing on PDF viewing application and our API cannot have control to disable/hide that button.

As per your requirement, you can disable PDF printing by setting privileges over PDF file. Please try using documentPrivilege.setAllowPrint(false);

For your reference, I have also attached the PDF file generated over my end. When viewing the file in Adobe Reader and opening the file with User password, you will notice that printing is restricted.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

I tried using documentPrivilege.setAllowPrint(false) but still i could not disable the PDF.
I am using Adobe Reader 9.5 to open the PDF and verify, is anything to do with the Adobe Reader?
Have attached the screenshot of the Adobe reader security for generated file.
I cannot open the file attached in your reply, can you pls attach again?

Hi Prabu,


Please take a look over attached image file which shows security settings over PDF document. For your reference, I have again attached the PDF file with security privileges. Please note that in order to view the PDF file, you need to use user and owner passwords.

PS, the attached image is taken when viewing the file with user password.
