Does Zope offer a way to prevent people from printing privileged pages that I want certain people to be able to view but not distribute?

This is a question of the presentation backend(means your browser) and has nothing to do with Zope. -aj --On Montag, 10. März 2003 16:25 -0500 baiewola@netscape.net wrote:

That does this not lie in the domain of Zope, but rather with the client. Not that I'm blowing off the question: I have no knowledge of anything that does this. I doubt you'll find anything of the sort in the free software world. Maybe PDF or something from Mircosoft has this sort of restrictive measure built-in. --jcc
Even if you could get the 'client' browser to keep them from viewing source, saving the page, or printing, they could just take a screen capture with an image program if they wanted the info bad enough. Rick On Mon, 2003-03-10 at 13:58, J Cameron Cooper wrote:

Even if you could disable printing, viewing source, saving the page, etc. on the 'client' or browser, somebody could simply grab a screen capture if the wanted it THAT bad. Rick On Mon, 2003-03-10 at 13:58, J Cameron Cooper wrote:

How about if I copy the page and paste it into Word or similar? How do you intend to stop that? Bottom line is that there is no guaranteed way to stop someone priting a page. This also has nothing to do with Zope btw. Phil On Mon, 10 Mar 2003 16:25:28 -0500, <baiewola@netscape.net> wrote:

To stop the average Joe printing privileged pages, try putting: @media print { body { display:none; } } at the end of your CSS. I haven't testied that, but I have seen similar instances of it used before... If it doesn't work, try wrapping the whole page in a div and make a custom class, hiding it the same way: @media print { .wholepage { display:none; } } Hope that helps, Chris Beaven baiewola@netscape.net wrote:

On the subject of stopping average Joe, a way I have used is a simple alternate page for printing, returning "action denied" or special formatted page for printing. Insert this into your page header: <link rel=alternate media=print href"{print formatted page or printing denied}"> This will prevent most average users from printing the page, good enough for many cases.
