This tutorial demonstrates how to disable PDF printing by using a PDF writer. First, locate the document on Windows Explorer, right-click on the PDF, and choose "Make Secure PDF." In the PDF writer, go to the printing and viewing tab and ensure that the allowed printing checkbox is deselected. Click "Publish" to confirm the protection status. The protected document will now have a .pdc extension and can only be opened with a lock lizard secure PDF viewer. Printing is disabled, and the print icon will be greyed out in the secure viewer.
