Disabling print and edit are handled by PDF security. Why can't you disable
print? I have not tried, but it looks like the PDF security enhancement to
FOP has a -noprint flag. See PDF Encryption:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/pdfencryption.html

Save is not handled by PDF security and will need to be managed using some
other method. To my knowledge no *ware modification to the PDF will disable
the user's ability to save.

In a previous project I implemented a controlled database solution reporting
by popping a PDF to the screen for the user then used an OLE connection to
the application to remove all Adobe toolbars and menus. This removed almost
every option other than viewing. See Acrobat SDK:

Subject: Need help on PDF generation using XSL-FO

Hi All,

We have a project requirement to generate a PDF document out of XML in
multiple languages. We have been successful in generating the PDF in
multiple languages.
On top of this, we have another requirement of disabling the PRINT, SAVE and
EDIT options in the PDF. It looks like we can't disable the PRINT option
using XSL-FO.
We are still exploring on disabling SAVE and EDIT using XSL-FO. If any body
has got idea on disabling these options using any other freeware, please
provide the info/URL to get the information.

Thanks & Regards
Sowjanya
