re: Code to disable Print and Save As

baranitharan - I do not believe there is anyway to do what you want, File -> Save As and File -> Print are functions of the browser that you have no control over as they are not part of any web standard (i.e. HTML, Javascript, CSS etc). They are things that the browser designers put in because they thought they might be useful.

sashi - the things you suggest are worst than useless IMO because they are not deterant to someone who knows what they are doing, all the do is make a site a little more irritating to use.


If you are trying to prevent someone copying something you are publishing on the web then there is only 1 answer, don't publish it. Remember just by displaying it in there browser most people already have a copy of you item in there browser cache which is easy enough to access.

re: Code to disable Print and Save As

Welcome back, baranitharan. Whoa! 15 months after your original post!
thanks sashi. i am try you sample code...
Listen to the advice from Banfa. JavaScript cannot disable these things. What you should consider is why you want to do this in the first place. If it's to protect images, just watermark them. Everything appears in the cache anyway, so disabling Save As has no effect on someone that is determined enough.

re: Code to disable Print and Save As

So you have a dialog open and you want to close it by clicking a button? or did you want something else?

re: Code to disable Print and Save As

If it's a browser functionality, you'll have to check the browser settings.

Do you want the PDF file to display in the browser without a dialog box or do you want to force a download?
