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

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 ].
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.
