How to block word document for printing?

[Adam]

Hi!

I need to create a web page on which users are allowed to view word
documents.
User may have 3 different access rights: for changing the document, for
reading, for reanding without printing possibility.
The firs two I've already done but in the third one I need to block word
printing possibility if web user does not have rights for printing. Is it
possible to do it? Do you have any ideas how? Some suggestions?

Regards
Adam

Hi, Adam,

The solution depends on your answer: What is the business reason you want
to block printing? If it's because you want to protect material before
people have purchased it, you could protect the document by using a
watermark on it. There isn't an easy way to prevent printing at the
document level in Word. I suppose you could do it by coding in Word, but
the permissions wouldn't carry over to the Web; it would be a "per document"
setting. I believe that Adobe PDF maker offers that type of document
protection; however, again, it's at the document level, not at the Web
permissions level.
