Do you want to share documents electronically, but also save paper, toner, and power by creating a “no print” document? This is very easy to do in Acrobat Pro (the Center for Teaching & Learning has copies of  Acrobat Pro on every computer):

• Create a pdf of your Word, Excel, Powerpoint, webpage document
• On the second top horizontal menu, select Security>Show Security Properties
• Choose “Password Security” under Security Properties, then click “Change Settings”
• Under “Permissions, ” click “Restrict Editing and Printing of the document,” and enter a password. Keep the default settings, which will prevent printing and copying
• Click “OK” twice to close the dialog boxes
• SAVE YOUR DOCUMENT
• When you re-open the document, you will see cut, copy, paste, and Print are greyed out in the menu, and the document can not be printed or altered
