Tuukka, I have not heard about any Linux program for that purpose and I do not think LyX can do that. However, I believe that the commercial Acrobat Professional (for MS Windows) can do that. Alternatively, you may want to prevent the printing of the file with some software filter acting on the printer and preventing the file finame.pdf of being printed. Regards, Paul
