Solution 1

I think you are talking about making a secured PDF which cannot be printed. But that is just useless. I have many PDF which cannot be printed through adobe, but if you open it in browser (i.e. chrome or any) and print it, it will work. So, I would suggest to leave the idea.

Solution 2

U can use this code to lock the pdf for print.

C#

System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
writer.SetEncryption(null, encoding.GetBytes("our cod of lock"), PdfWriter.ALLOW_COPY, PdfWriter.STRENGTH40BITS);
