Greetings,

I would like to create an Org level Group within a context that has restricted printing and downloading permissions. I see the ACL's to restrict downloading, but don't seem to see how one would prevent them from printing a document.

Our documents are PDFs, we are also restricting this Group from seeing any source documents.

Any ideas about restricting printing? I'm assuming it has to be in Creo View.

Bummer. I just did some searching and found this, which says the same thing:

It is possible to restrict printing from Creo View. Take a look at this article:

I do not know if this still works when a PDF is opened from Adobe Reader inside Creo View.

@TomU Looks like CS32479 is what I'm looking for, or at least a good portion of it. However I think I'm going to have to talk to PTC to figure out the changes since Windows 10. Looks like the folder structure doesn't match the video in the Article.
