Allow printing but not viewing?

[Guest]

Is it possible to allow a file to be printed without allowing the file to be viewed? We have information we want someone to be able to print, but the printer will be locked, so they can't physically view it on paper.

The best way to achieve this is to convert the PDF to PostScript and send that directly to a PostScript printer. In other words, don't use PDF, use a printer language.

Though with a PostScript file, this can be converted back to PDF in seconds... Really no such option. To implement such a secure system would be done using a server, which would print on demand (after proper authentication).
