I don't know much about those tools and which ones are the best, but I think that we need a clear wiki page (or something like that) shortly describing existing tools (maybe both free and commercial) for post-processing documents together with their pros & cons.

You can accomplish PDF encryption with pdftk (for example): http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ You use that to restrict certain features (in your case printing) and protect that restriction with a password. The PDF itself can still be read without password. Of course the PDF viewer has to honor that restriction. If the user finds a PDF viewer that doesn't give a about these restrictions, they can still print it. But I think that doesn't really matter for your scenario anyway. :-) -- Best Regards, Andreas pgpezLkr1jjJE.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Non-Printing PDFs with ConTeXt
Hi all, Is there a way I can get ConTeXt to produce PDFs that are not-printable? Just as a background to my question: This is not about copyright. Rather, I am using ConTeXt to produce quality process documents. The quality management system requires that all quality process documents be "controlled", that is one must prevent folks from printing copies of their own that then keep floating around the place and cannot be retracted when a new version of the quality process document is issued. Hence, I am aiming for a paper-less scenario where everyone reads the documents on screen. Therefore, I would like to make printing impossible, or at least hard. The only one who should be able to print the document is the Document Manager; maybe the documents could be encrypted (PDF supports that, I believe), such that the Document Manager can print them knowing the password. So far, I have only seen Word and Acrobat Distiller being able to do this. Is there a way I can setup ConTeXt to do this? Or are there some command line tools, that can do that after the PDF has been produced? Any hints would be great.

[NTG-context] Wiki - results differ?
Hello,
Wiki and a file processed on a local computer give different results -
- please compare "http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/doif...";
and the example attached:
\starttext
\ctxlua{test = true}
Test is \ctxlua{commands.testcase(test)}{True}{False}.
\ctxlua{test = false}
Test is \ctxlua{commands.testcase(test)}{True}{False}.
\stoptext
The result should be:
"
Test is True.
Test is False.
"
which works fine on my computer.
But wiki shows (wrongly):
"
Test is TrueFalse.
Test is TrueFalse.
"
although the same code is used in the example:
\starttext
\ctxlua{test = true}
Test is \ctxlua{commands.testcase(test)}{True}{False}.
\ctxlua{test = false}
Test is \ctxlua{commands.testcase(test)}{True}{False}.
\stoptext
Any idea why both results differ?
And how to make wiki show the good result?
Best regards,
Lukas

Please don't rely on my answer since I haven't been following the development as closely as I used to in past. But my guess is that the argument goes into the opposite way. I past (and still in MKII) one *had to* set up fonts twice - once for the main document and once for MetaPost since MetaPost did its own processing of labels and MetaPost didn't see the ConTeXt font setups. So it was "difficult" to convince MetaPost to use the same font. Now (as Aditya explained) metapost automatically inherits font setups from the main document and it might be that nobody ever thought of / requested / needed to have a special setup for using different font for MetaPost labels. I can think of many workarounds to this, but I agree that there is a valid reason why \startMPenvironment (or some other command) should be able to change the font inside metapost labels only.
