Re: PDF Security

Thanks for your reply.  I wasn't clear enough in my
last email sorry about that.  Let me start over.  I
want to make it so the users of my document management
system use a custom print method I developed (server
side vs client side)  instead of the print button in
the acrobat reader browser plug in.  One of the things
i would like to do is at the pdf level, restrict print
permissions.

In OpenOffice, when exporting to PDF, there are
options to restrict printing (among other options) 
This is obviously enforced at the pdf level but I am
not smart enough to adjust those setting when making a
pdf using PDF::API21.

Any thoughts?
