Actually, in older versions of Acrobat/Reader the toolbar was just hidden. If
the user chose the appropriate menu item or hit the "hot key", the toolbar
would appear and they could happily click the Save button. In addition, they
could have right-clicked and chosen "Save" as well.
Your previous "solution" has always been useless.
What you need to do is NOT prevent saving BUT control the actual use of the
PDF. Doesn't matter if someone has it, if they can't open it – now does it.
And that's where DRM (Digital Rights Management) comes in.

Subject: [iText-questions] Question on hiding toolbar(disable save and print
button) in Adobe X using iText
Hello
We badly need a solution. We cannot want to introduce a new logic to handle pdf
and confuse the users.
Right now in all versions of pdf the itext has an option to disable the tool
bar option, which will allow the users not to save the sensitive information to
the desktop. In Adobe X it created a issue, by highlighting the toolbar option
and makes the iText code not to work.
Can somebody help me out and give a feasible solution?
Thanks
Brijoy

On win7 if I add a null user password and turn everything off (printing
commenting etc) it will NOT show the toolbars when inside browser...

Hiding the toolbar was never the way to "prevent saving" - you just avoided
the real problem. And yes, there is no way to hide the toolbar (or the
HUD) in the browser.

Subject: [iText-questions] Question on hiding toolbar in Adobe X
Hello
We are using iText 2.1.2 jar for our project. Issue we are facing is we are not
able to hide the toolbar in the Adobe Reader 10 version. The code works well
for Adobe 9 and lower version to hide the toolbar and menubar. Right now in
Adobe X, the toolbar is enabled and allows the customer to save the pdf to
local desktop. This should not happen. Can you suggest a way ?
Snapshot of code:
--------------------------------
com.lowagie.text.Document document =null;
reader = new PdfReader(outByte);
if (reader.isEncrypted()) {
reader = new PdfReader(outByte, "test".getBytes());
}
int totalPages = reader.getNumberOfPages();
PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(document, new FileOutputStream(fileName));
copy.setViewerPreferences(PdfWriter.HideMenubar);
copy.setViewerPreferences(PdfWriter.HideToolbar);
copy.setEncryption(null, "test".getBytes(),
PdfWriter.ALLOW_MODIFY_CONTENTS,
PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128);
document.open();

Regards
Brijoy
