I agree. This is definitely a problem for those (of us) who need to control
the printing of forms.
I know this is ugly, but you could add either a readonly field or an
annotation , normally hidden, in your document which you would show in the
docWillPrint and hide in docDidPrint actions. This could be controlled by a
global flag which only gets set when the user hits your button and cleared
in docDidPrint.
You couldn't stop the printing but at least you could mark the pages with
something like "not official copy". Or if you really wanted to be draconian,
make a blank white button or text field the size of the form (then all they
will get are blank pages!)
Personally, I think the most elegant solution for Adobe would be to add a
hideRightClickItem command, and , even better, an addRightClickItem command
to build custom items. That would be fantastic!

Subject: [PDF-Forms] MenuItems hidden but print menue appears on right click
on the form
The user of a given form should only be able to print using a button on the
form. The Button is enabled as soon as the correct data is filled in the
form.
The Print menu is disabled with hideMenuItem("Print") and the
hideToolbarButton("Print") at Startup. This works fine.
But using Acrobat 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 there appears a popup menu if there is a
right click on the form outside of fields.
This popup menu contains a print menu.
How can I disable this print menu ?
It seems to me that hideMenuItem() makes no sense at all if there is a popup
which always allows printing through the back door. I feel this is a
conceptional error in Acrobat.
Does anybody know how to work arround this?
Thank you.
