Question

How To Disable Ctrl + Shift + S (Save As)

Good Evening,

I have a requirment to allow viewing of a secured PDF file. This PDF has the following document restrictions;

Printing: Not Allowed

Changing The Document: Not Allowed

Document Assembly: Not Allowed

Content Copying: Not Allowed

Content Copying For Accessability: Not Allowed

Page Extraction: Not Allowed

Commenting: Not Allowed

Filling of form fields: Not Allowed

Signing: Not Allowed

Creating of Template Pages: Not Allowed

 

I have locked down the Adobe Reader menus.

When I launch the PDF Within Adobe Reader and press Ctrl + Shift + S. Is there a way to prevent this from occuring. If not, is there a way to have the Save As box blank and not allow the function to actually save the file.

 

I was going down the route to disable the Ctrl,  Shift and S keys using Scancode Maps, but that was going to cause more problems in the long term then it is worth.

 

Any advice is most welcome.

 

Kind Regards,

 

John

G'day Bernd, thanks so much for your prompt reply. As you suggested it is not possible. Is there any other method you can suggest, other than disabling the Ctrl + Shift + S key combination, that will get me close to the result I am after?

Cheers and thanks in advance
