I have just tried this with my own project here - just disabling the print.
It appears that the print disabling is tied to the security. Is there a way to NOT put in password and it disable the print? Right now if you disable the print, it generates a random password and lock the file. I even tried ' -noprint -u "" ' which I thought would be a null password. FOP 0.93 puked with this (a zero length string). Any ideas?

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.

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.
