Hello Ashok,

Thank you for contacting us!

About your question, there is a control that can fulfill this functionality. The control is WebDocumentExporter and you can set this limitations like this:

Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Report report = new Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Report();

((report.Preferences).PDF).Viewer.HideMenubar = true;
((report.Preferences).PDF).Viewer.HideToolbar = true;
((report.Preferences).PDF).Viewer.HideWindowUI = true;

//Encryption has been requested for the document being published but encryption is not supported in this release.
(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Add = false;
(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Copy = false;
(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Modify = false;
(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Print = false;

this.documentExporter.Export(WebDataGrid1, report);

Although you need to keep in mind some things. Due to pending government approval regarding export limitations, encryption-related functionality has been disabled for some releases.

The following is a list of properties that are affected by this limitation:

-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Add
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Copy
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Modify
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Print
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Preferences.PDF.IPassword.Owner
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Preferences.PDF.IPassword.User

Also, it is currently not allowed to disable the saving/downloading of any PDF displayed on the client. More about this you can find here:

Hello,

As I mentioned in my previous post currently it is not possible to limit the end user to save/download/print. If you use our WebDocumentExporter, you can hide some of the toolbars or set password, but all the rest depends of the PDF reader that you use.

(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Password.Owner = ""; //Gets or sets a string value that defines the owner password
(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Password.User = ""; //Gets or sets a string value that defines the user password

You can use passwords to apply different kind of restrict for user such as opening, printing, editing and etc, but due to pending government approval regarding export limitations, encryption-related functionality has been disabled for the 2007 Volume 2 release. We expect to enable this functionality in a future release.

Hello,

The current code works if you are generating a new PDF with some data using webdocument export control. But my current requirement is we have 5k PDF and this pdf will be shown to the user based on his search. So can we control the PDF documents by saving/download/print?

Thanks
