Team, I am using Pega OOTB Activity HTMLToPDF to generate PDF. Is it possible to disable printing on the generated PDF.

Thanks.

pega uses pd4ml for htmltopdf generation, so in theory it is possible: PD4ML Cookbook - HTML-to-PDF converter for Java and .NET. However, it does not look we support that OOTB. You can write your own java code if possible.

Please see: https://mesh.pega.com/message/190853

This shows how to 'post-process' a PDF (it happens to be using another PDF library PDFBox for this): so that it password-protects a PDF.

You should be able to modify this to set the 'setCanPrint' flag to 'false'. [ see: third party site : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13067437/protecting-pdf-using-pdfbox for further details ].
