Is it possible to restrict certain users from printing from Adobe Reader?

Is it possible to restrict certain users from printing from Adobe Reader?

First of all, with Reader you can't change any security settings.
If you have Acrobat, then you could place a password on changing the document (which includes printing), and then give it to only some users.

  • Is it possible to restrict the user from creating a sibling and allow him to ONLY create child nodes in DRM?

    When in a hierarchy, a user right clicks on a node to crate a new node, he has two options
    -Child
    -Sibling
    Is it possible to restrict the user from creating a sibling and allow him to ONLY create child nodes?
    Business cases:
    1. different level nodes need to have different prefixes.
    - Thus, the default prefix property definition uses the level number to assign a prefix
    - Also, a validation, to ensure the correct prefix, uses the level number
    But if the user can create a child and a sibling then the default prefix will only be right for a single case and not both.
    Thanks

    If the images are exactly the same size then make sure the layer with the mask
    is the active layer and in the other documents go to Select>Load Selection and choose
    your document with the layer mask under Source document and under channel choose the layer mask.
    After the selection loads press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

  • How do I only allow certain users to print in color?

    Product Name: HP Color LaserJet Professional CP5225dn Printer (CE712A)
    Operating System Installed: Windows 7 Enterprise (64bit)
    I work at a K-12 school and purchased the HP Color LaserJet Professional CP5225dn Printer (CE712A) for use in our computer lab. I would like to know if it is possible to have it so that only certain users can print in color (possibly put a password on it). I know the cost for color is higher, and therefore, would like it so that students have to approve through teacher if they want to print in color.
    We are running it on our Print Server (networked) not through USB.
    Thank you for the help.

    Hi,
    That's a very good question actually. In my corporate networks, we are talking about hundreds of laser printers and the ONLY thing we can do: only allow people access to a set of mono laser printers, not all printers. For example, the following printer is using B&W as default but can't stop users to print in colors if they could access to the resourse:

  • How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?

    How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?
    Files from Google Drive are appearing in "Recents" where I cannot organize them hierarchically.
    I cannot find a user manual for Adobe Reader for Android with this level of detail.

    Hi John,
    Files opened via Google Drive are not listed in ‘Documents' section of Adobe Reader, because they are read only files. If you really want to save these files to ’Documents' then please follow below steps -
    Open the file from Google drive in Adobe Reader.
    Tap on the Comment icon placed at top toolbar(Second icon from the beginning)
    You would encounter a 'Read-Only document’ dialog, tap on Save button.
    Once you performed above steps , your file will be saved in /Download/Adobe Reader/ folder.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Thanks,

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • Print pdf file directly from a folder, Adobe Reader X in  Windows Server 2003

    In previous versions of Adobe Reader we were able to print pdf files groupwise directly when selected in a folder.
    Now I've installed Reader X on the Windows Server 2003 environment. Logged in as administrator I can still select <Print> by selecting the right mouse button in a folder. Logged in as a user, this is not available.
    I checked user-rights and permissions and made sure they have full control.
    Someone who can help us in this matter?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.
    The file menu doesn't show the print option either. We used to work this way, after installing the 9.0 and Reader X version, this option has disappeared from both the File menu and the right mouse button. For other filetypes, for example Excel the Print option is still available and works properly. Logged in as administrator on the serverconsole, there is no problem. So it seams to be something specific to pdf-formats in a server 2003 environment. The userrights are all set on full control (same as administrator).
    Thanks again

  • Cannot print from IE11 with adobe reader 9.4.2

    When we open pdf files within IE11 and try and print, the printer properties box becomes unresponsive.
    we need to crash IE to resolve it, but are unable to print.
    we cannot upgrade Adobe Reader as we have another application which doesn't work with anything higher.
    I saw there was a workaround for adobe acrobat, but we need a fix for reader if possible
    changing the setting in adobe to open the pdf in it's own window is not a solution for us either

    No difference in output using the latest version.
    We are printing to Xerox WorkCentre 7425/7435 printers. When printing from a full version of Adobe Acrobat the advanced button of the Print Driver popup has check options for Marks under Marks and Bleeds while printing from Adobe Reader does not.

  • How do I accept end user license agreement in adobe reader?

    I have just updated the Operation System on my iMac from OS 10.6.8 to OS 10.9.4. Safari was updated to 7.0.5. When I attempt to open a pdf in Safari, I get a notice that:
    Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.
    I have not been able to find any way to accept the End User License Agreement. How can I do this.
    I can open pdfs in Chrome without any problems.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    Go to 'Spotlight' at the top right corner of the Mac > Type Reader> Launch the 'Adobe Reader' application and then click on 'Accept' on the End User License Agreement.

  • Printing PDF from IE with Adobe Reader - extra white space at top of page

    I searched the forums far and wide but did not find this question or information to answer it.  If it's out there, I'd be much obliged if you'd point me in the right direction.
    A user of the web app for which I do tech support just called to say that starting today, whenever he opened a PDF from our app (in IE), the PDF looks fine on screen but when he prints the PDF, every page has extra blank/white space inserted at the top, which cuts off the bottom inch or two of each page.
    No other users have called with this complaint, and if changes to our app or an automatic background Adobe Reader or IE update caused this problem, I would have heard from many users.  I have a sneaking suspicion I have heard about this from other users, but since troubleshooting their IE or Adobe isn't exactly my job, I don't know if I did any more than advise them to talk to their tech support people. 
    I can't recreate his problem (read: it works fine for me), but I'd like to help him.  Can anyone think of a reason why this might be happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    What I know:  He's using Adobe Reader X.  I do not know if it's the most recent version.  The problem only exists with PDFs from our web app; he's not having trouble with other sites or with other PDFs.
    I do not have a copy of the PDF; I can't give you the copy I downloaded when I logged into his account because there is proprietary confidential information on it, but everything worked fine for me and he's the only user with this complaint, so I believe it's related to his PC or printer, not to our app or to Adobe per se. 
    I sent him email asking for more information, but I do not know what printer he's using.  I don't even know what version of Windows he's running. 
    Based on some info from Adobe, I suggested he make sure he's using the most recent version (10.1.2), try 'print as image" to see if that's any more successful, and make sure his printer drivers are up to date. 
    Given the nature of tech support, if he solves the problem or finds a workaround he's happy with, I may never hear from him again to know.  I just wanted to know if this was a known issue and what recommended resolutions for it might be.  Having not found anything on the web at large, I figured the Adobe forums would be a good place to ask.
    Thanks for the time you took to answer.

  • Start program from javascript in adobe reader

    Hi,
    I'm trying to develop a javascript that add a button.
    When the user click on the button, the javascriopt should run an executable, wait for the end of the process, then open a text file and save the pdf as the content of this text file.
    I've found how to open the text file in the api reference but i can not run the exe.
    Has anybody already done before?
    thx a lot
    Benjamin

    So, i have to develop them on a computer with the pro version to correctly compile the plugin?
    For testing I have copied an api file (already compiled) from the sdk folder to the plugin folder, i have disabled the certified mode but I cannot see this one into the list (see pic)
    What i'm trying to do is simple:
    Ad a save button, when the user click on this button, the plugin will have to run a program that write a path into a text file. After closing the program, the plugin will read the path and then save the opened pdf at this place.
    I think that the acrobat pro is a little bit "overkilled" for tht stuff, don't you?
    Javascript can do that:
    var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
    shell.run("explorer.exe");
    Why the adobe reader is not able to do that?

  • Quick Printing from Outlook 2010sp1 / Adobe reader X and XI

    Hey all,
    We have a problem with printing multiple PDF attachments from Outlook 2010. When a user wants to print a e-mail with two of more PDF attachments only one attachment gets printed, after that Adobe Reader gives a Error message that the documents cannot be found. I found some "solutions" on the net, but none of them works with the combination of Outlook 2010sp1 and Adobe reader X and XI.
    I hope you guys have a sollutions for this, or help me find one. Also if you need more information please ask!
    Thanks!

    Just a little update:
    When I open a e-mail with multiple PDF attachemts, and then use the normal print function it works. All the attachments are getting printed. But when I use the normal Print function from say the inbox. (same like Quick Print) it doenst work.
    So I guess there is a diffrence in how Outlook sends the Print and Quick Print command (DDE?) to Adobe Reader when the e-mail is open.

  • Is it possible to flatten transparency in a pdf using Adobe Reader or do I have to buy Acrobat?

    I'm trying to create a book cover PDF using publisher and then saving as a pdf. But, that isn't flattening the transparencies. I only have Adobe Reader and am hoping that program will allow me to flatten the transparency in the native document. If I can't do this, odd lines show up on my printed books. Any ideas?

    Modifying an existing PDF file is several magnitues more complicated than creating one from scratch. The PDF standard is VERY complicated and contains a myriad of features with their specific syntax elements. In order to modify an existing PDF you have to be able to understand every syntax element that occures in the PDF, or you may end up corrupting the file.
    When you create a new PDF you can pick out the syntax elements that your tool supports and forget about the 95 other procent.
    There are many PDF Toolkits than can create PDF files, a few that can open PDF files and present them, and almost none that can edit them. The Adobe PDF Editor being one of the few that can do that, but nobody is going to give away such a Toolkit for free.
