Bonjour Cedric

I didn't really get what you do you mean by "when a document is printable", please clarify so i can try to help you.

OK,

I encrypted pdf documents with different permissions. Sometime, I enabled printing, others copying.

But now, I have to show the document by a viewer (I use pdf creator) inside my application and to permit the user to print the document by a button. I want to know if the document, which is loaded, was encrypted with printing permission or not to make the button visible or not.

I hope you see what I mean

Cedric,

You can't know if the document was encrypted with printing permissions, at least as far as i know!, you can only know if the document is encrypted or not (for more information please check page 55 of the PDF Creator Developer manual).

Bonne Journée
