Re: secure file and prevent printing and saving?

[Justin Bennett <jbennett () MSJC EDU>]

Hi Russ,

 

Adobe Acrobat allows you to set restrictions on PDF files for printing
with the "Restrict Editing And Printing Of The Document
<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WSD012A4E1-51D1-4bcd-BA
9F-EF03C6F20BB6.html> " option.

 

The only issue is that if you can see it, you can print it, even if the
program limits it. All you need is to use a program like Snag It which
allows you to do page long screen grabs, or you could print screen it
back together.

Our President wants to send a file to all fac/staff that will prevent
them from downloading, printing, saving the file.

 

In otherwords, a true read-only.

 

What have you used for this?

 

Thanks Again

Hello All,

 

I'm wondering if any of your institutions monitor logon/logoff time for
attendance/holiday/sick leave violations. I'm not looking for a
technical answer, just whether or not your schools do this. 

 

I'm trying to bring some support documents to the table so we can make
an educated decision on if it's something we want to pursue. My feeling
is that this is VERY unusual for HigherED, but links to policies or an
email (with a yes/no) would be much appreciated.

 

If you like I can compile my responses (anonymously) and repost to the
list if there's any interest.




This is just a followup to my original mail. All replies, save one, were
posted to the list. They were unanimously "no". Since there aren't any
"best practices" or obvious evidence of other schools doing this, the
internal auditor has thankfully withdrawn his request.

 

To followup on the technical portion. If we were forced into doing this,
I was going to suggest something like <http://www.authenware.com/> as
one piece of the puzzle. That plus some network analysis and mobile
device tracking would hopefully give us at least an understanding if
they even came on campus.

 

Thanks,

Will
