Hi guys
Im using openkm 6.3 community
I want to disable all the ways a user can print a preview of a document even print by the browser itself (with ctrl + p or tools -> print menu ).I have disabled flexpaper print and download buttons but user can still print the preview with browsers print capability.
Is it possible at all ?
Thanks in advance

When you are showing something in the browser is totally impossible lock download or capture screenshot etc... the best way to control documents is:
* adding stamps with the user name and date in all the documents ( for preview and download )
* preview images either full documents like PDF ( and also stamp them ) -> this is also a good protection

For this matter must modify CE or go to a professional one which comes by default with the possibility to customize download and preview. If you wish to go ahead with CE I can try ty guide about what sections of code should be modified ( I advance is not a trivial modification -> because also should implement stamp )
