This video tutorial demonstrates how to disable PDF printing by using a PDF writer. To protect a document, locate it in Windows Explorer, right-click, and choose "make secure PDF." In the PDF writer, go to the printing and viewing tab, deselect the allowed printing checkbox, and click publish. A protection status window will confirm success. The protected document will now have a .pdc extension and can only be opened with Lock Lizard Secure PDF Viewer. Printing is disabled, as evidenced by the greyed-out print icon and inability to use keyboard shortcuts.
