Disabling the save button in toolbar in PDF reader

I am displaying a PDF file by feeding it into the Adobe Acrobat Reader Control. However, I would like stop other people from saving the file. Is there any way of disabling the save button in the toolbar in the Acrobat Reader? (either by modifying the PDF file or by calling the Acrobat Reader control.)

I don't understand. I insist on Acrobat Reader being installed or my application will not work - It will not be able to display PDFs. What I was asking was whether you can ask Acrobat to disable the "save" button in the toolbar when it displays a PDF file. Any ideas?

Ok, not a web application, which is the usual request for this. > >What I was asking was whether you can ask Acrobat to disable the >"save" button in the toolbar when it displays a PDF file. Why would you bother? I don't think you can, but it seems pointless - the file must be accessible on disk, and the user can use Ctrl+D to find out where. ---------------------------------------- Aandi Inston quite@dial.pipex.com http://www.quite.com Please support usenet!

Martin, I'm not sure if this will help you, but ... In Acrobat (Exchange), do "File + Document Info + Open Info" to see the Window Options and User Interface Options available to you. Note that Hiding Menu Bar, Toolbar and Window Controls will not prevent a determined user from using the hidden features that are still available, e.g., Ctrl-Shft-M = (Show) Menu and Ctrl-Shft-B = (Show) Toolbar.
