Hello Ashok,

Thank you for contacting us!

About your question, there is a control that can fulfill this functionality. The control is WebDocumentExporter and you can set this limitations like this:

Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Report report = new Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Report();

((report.Preferences).PDF).Viewer.HideMenubar = true;
((report.Preferences).PDF).Viewer.HideToolbar = true;
((report.Preferences).PDF).Viewer.HideWindowUI = true;

//Encryption has been requested for the document being published but encryption is not supported in this release.
(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Add = false;
(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Copy = false;
(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Modify = false;
(((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Print = false;

this.documentExporter.Export(WebDataGrid1, report);

Although you need to keep in mind some things. Due to pending government approval regarding export limitations, encryption-related functionality has been disabled for some releases.

The following is a list of properties that are affected by this limitation:

-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Add
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Copy
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Modify
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Print
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Preferences.PDF.IPassword.Owner
-Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Preferences.PDF.IPassword.User

Also, it is currently not allowed to disable the saving/downloading of any PDF displayed on the client. More about this you can find here:

Hello,

The current code works if you are generating a new PDF with some data using webdocument export control. But my current requirement is we have 5k PDF and this pdf will be shown to the user based on his search. So can we control the PDF documents by saving/download/print?

Thanks
