[Hidden-tech] Non-printable PDF

[Roger Williams]

Sure. Encrypted PDF files can contain a number of permissions controlling what the end user can do with the file. These include Allow Printing and Allow Degraded Printing (with Acrobat 4+) which allows only a 150-DPI raster image to be printed to prevent publication. Encrypted PDFs can be created with a wide range of tools, including Adobe Acrobat and open-source pdftk.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to create a non-printable PDF file? I’ve never heard of it, but I have a client who says he has and wants one.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.
