If the intended user does not have acrobat, there is no easy way for untrained users to manipulate a PDF document. That would have to come from someone who has the full version.

I could swear there was a way to control the "look" of the Reader through one of those Javascript folders. Sure, if a person knew how to modify that script folder, they could override those settings, but that's not going to happen with these users (they barely know what a directory is). Hmmm...Still checking.

I'm going to be making PDF's on the fly from Access, and I just want to view them then in the Reader. So, I need a method that kind of disables the general print function from Reader (I don't want the user to be able to print the PDF, just view it). I wish I COULD just put the individual security on the PDF, but unfortunately, that's getting WAY to code heavy to try to do dynamically from Access while also creating the PDF (I think anyway). Any other ideas?

However, I'm trying to do something now that kind of boggles my mind, although I think it should be simple. If I have a copy of the Adobe Reader 5.1 on a computer, can I disable it's print functions? I know there is a javascript folder installed when you install AR 5.1 that has scripts that are run when the Reader is opened. I was wondering if there were some way to put a script in one of those folders that would handle this. I think I remember hearing about this before (could be wrong though). If anyone has any clues, I'd greatly appreciate it. THANKS!!
