Hi Jennifer,

You are correct that there is no Policy Server permission for restricting the number of times a document can be printed.

However, at least one customer has controlled the number of times that a document could be printed by using the Policy Server Java SDK to revoke the document after it has been printed a certain number of times. The SDK includes an Event Handler API that can be used for this purpose.

I have received many emails regarding this plugin that I developed some time ago.
Stable version 1 can be downloaded from my website at www.egis.co.za under the support>downloads section.
This version is free with no limitations.

If there are any other addon requirements, feel free to email me and I will do my best to supply you with a solution.

Regards
Troy

Hi Troy,

my name is Carlo and i'm working on Livecycle Policy Server. Now i'm working on a way to restrict the number of times of print for a secured file.

In my code, i process the events of "PRINT_HIGH" and "PRINT_LOW" and use a counter that tells me how many times the doc is printed. As i was looking around the adobeforum, i read that you developed a plugin that makes this same thing, so i ask you if is possible to get it, so that i can look for any improvement that surely you made :).

I tried to write to your email or going to your site, but unfortunately they don't work.. can you help me? my email is carlo.bongiovanni@gmail.com

www.egis.co.za doesn't appear to be working anymore. Granted it has been a year. Is there any update on how to limit the number of prints a customer can make before they are shut out?
