Prohibiting printing of Word documents etc.
4 Answers
Is it possible to protect documents (word files, PDFs etc) when sending them as email attachments so that the recipient can read them but cannot print them. I'd like to do this to encourage people to keep electronic copies of files rather than filling up filing cabinets with paper unnecessarily.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ....I really can't say if that can be done or not but there is always a way round these things.....for example, if the email is open for reading, then simply pressing PrintScreen will put a copy onto the clipboard which can then be pasted into PhotoShop or your favourite imaging software and simply adjusted to A4 if neccessary and printed from there.....so nothing to stop them doing what they want with your emails I'm afraid..........commoner. :-(
Adobe acrobat writer and JAWS pdf creator have the facility to make PDF files read only and cannot be printed, but as commoner pointed out someone just has to do a print screen and they can get a copy to the clipboard. it might not be a good copy and some of the page will be missing but it can be done with time.
