Re: Changing Save function for .pdf file

how to remove the save option after I've updated the 
files. Can anyone provide any suggestions?"

***************************************

Paula,

I don't know how to prevent someone from saving the 
file, but one option is to hide this function.

Under File|Document Info|Open|User Interface Options,
check the box to "Hide Menubar". This will mask the 
drop down File menu they need to perform a Save As. 
Then, lock everything under the Security section 
except for permission to print. When you open the 
file, the Save icon will still be on the toolbar, but 
since they cannot change anything, they won't be able 
to save.

Please note, however, this only HIDES the Save As 
function. If the user knows the shortcut 
Ctrl+Shift+S, the Save As dialog box will still pop 
up and they can perform a Save As.

Not a create solution, but a possible workaround 
until someone replies with a better way.

Regards,
Erick B. Kandl
