PhantomPDF supports security settings that determine if a reader is allowed to print a document.
I would like to limit the number of times a document can be printed. For example, here are the procedures:
. Reader opens a PDF that requires password security to open
. PDF requests password
. Reader enters valid password and document opens
. Reader wishes to print the document and presses Print icon
. PDF opens a dialog box warning that reader is allowed to print only 2 times
. Reader presses OK and document prints
. Sometime later, Reader goes through above procedures to print a second copy. This time the warning says reader is allowed to print only 1 time. Reader enters the password and prints the document.
. Sometime later, Reader goes through above procedures to print a third copy. This time the warning says the document is not allowed to be printed.
Can the above feature be implemented?
Additional questions arise: What if the Reader prints the first or second copy to a PDF? Do the security settings go with the new PDF and prevent additional printing?
