I want to disable the printer icon and the "print" option from file menu in adobe acrobat reader 7.0 pro, so that no user can print any file from adobe acrobat reader. how is it possible?

Hi ramesh.kgp,

You can do this by placing the appropriate javascript commands in a config.js file in the Acrobat installation directory as documented in the following Developer Knowledgebase article:
http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup. … /52310.htm

However, this will not disable the keyboard shortcut or prevent user's from downloading another version of Acrobat that allows printing.

If you're concerned about printing sensitive information, I would investigate the security features of PDF that disallow printing or the LiveCycle Digital Rights Management tool to manage sensitive information:
