This video tutorial demonstrates how to disable PDF printing. First, locate the document in Windows Explorer, right-click on the PDF, and select "Make Secure PDF." In the PDF writer, go to the printing and viewing tab, uncheck the allowed printing checkbox, and click publish. The protection status window will confirm success. The protected PDF now has a .pdc extension and can only be opened with the Locklizard Secure PDF Viewer.
