"Why is a showed PDF file with a no-print security in Firefox printable"
[quote]
We are linking PDF files in our website. Today we were unpleasantly surprised: it is possible in Firefox to print a PDF file that is print protected by Adobe with a password

In other bowsers, the same file isn't printable. How is this posible and better how can we prevent this.

I assume the user uses the intrinsic/JS reader, and not the adobe PDF plugin. see thread for their confirmation resp. answer on this question.
