Access Reports with Acrobat

[Guest]

I have a series of output reports in my Access VBA application generated in
Adobe pdf format (v. 7). Since the users of the system are (more or less)
intellectual stumps, it is important that I lock the resultant pdf files from
being printed (to a printer). In other words, the users will only view the
pdf document on screen.

It is possible (and easy) to lock the pdf file from printing using Acrobat,
but the Access program generates a couple hundred reports a day and no one
has the time or resources to lock the files individually. I want to do it
from my Access VBA code.

Adobe has an Object Library which I can reference, but I have no idea what
to do with it. Does anyone know of an Acrobat VBA resource that can show me
how to use Access VBA to lock a pdf document? (I can't find one at Adobe.)
Any help is appreciated.

Our pdf and mail library for Access, PDF Pro Plus edition will allow you to
output your PDFs using Acrobat and to secure them from printing; the library
also has the option to use its own internal engine for securing the files
which is quite fast. You can find out more by going to our web and looking
in the developer tools section.
