Re: secure file and prevent printing and saving?

A good way to proceed here may be to put yourself in the client's head. The
President has a sticky situation and respects your creative ability. You
can't help him this time because there's no technology available to do the
trick. You (or the CIO :-) can, however, suggest that the President confer
with _other_ creative problem solvers such as the Provost, Public
Relations, and General Counsel. They may be able to suggest appropriate
action that serves the President's ultimate need.
