Thanks for all your support.

I am new to OpenKM. I just installed it yesterday and I fell in love with the Solution.
Kudos to all who worked hard for on this software.

I need to achieve the following and I wondered if OpenKM can do these.

1. Restrict Users from downloading document
2. Allow to read the document only
3. Prevent users from printing based on permission assigned by admistrator

- Restrict downloading:
1- the most easiest way is restricting in profiles
2- we've got extension based restriction on if document has or not some role ( you could implement it too )

- allow only reading -
Simply apply the desired grants. Downloading restriction might be done like I explain in point 1

- disable printing -
need some minor code change in previewer, it's really easy to be done, in future will include in profile too, but is still not there. It's only in roadmap

Thanks.
I was able to implement recommendation 1.

I couldn't implement 2. Can you assist with any documentation link on this ?

Extensions API is not 100%, really done. API version 5.1 is more strong than 5.0. ( more complete, because we're working developing extension and we're increasing capabilities meanwhile doing it). But what you really must implementing is so easy and with 5.0 covers it without major problems ( we've got developed it for that version )

Version 5.1. We're still working it'll be really great changes like translations in dbms and others ... but I can not recommend working with it, because we're still working on it, and is on a not mature stage.
