This video tutorial demonstrates how to disable PDF printing. By selecting "make secure PDF" and deselecting the allowed printing checkbox in the PDF writer, you can protect the document. After publishing, a confirmation window will appear indicating success. The protected PDF file will have a .pdc extension and can only be opened with the Locklizard Secure PDF Viewer. With printing disabled, the print icon will be greyed out, and keyboard shortcuts will be ineffective in printing the document.
