This video tutorial demonstrates how to disable PDF printing to protect your document. After locating the file in Windows Explorer, select "make secure PDF" option. In the PDF writer, go to the printing tab and deselect the allowed printing checkbox. Click "publish" to confirm protection status. The document now has a .pdc extension and can only be opened with Lock Lizard Secure PDF viewer. Printing is disabled, as shown by the greyed out print icon in the viewer. This effectively restricts printing options for the protected PDF file.
