    Hello Ashok,

    Thank you for contacting us!

    About your question, there is a control that can fulfill this functionality. The control is WebDocumentExporter and you can set this limitations like this:

    Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Report report = new Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Report();
     
    ((report.Preferences).PDF).Viewer.HideMenubar = true;
    ((report.Preferences).PDF).Viewer.HideToolbar = true;
    ((report.Preferences).PDF).Viewer.HideWindowUI = true;
     
    //Encryption has been requested for the document being published but encryption is not supported in this release.
    (((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Add = false;
    (((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Copy = false;
    (((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Modify = false;
    (((report.Preferences).PDF).Encryptor).Permissions.Print = false;
     
    this.documentExporter.Export(WebDataGrid1, report);

     

    Although you need to keep in mind some things. Due to pending government approval regarding export limitations, encryption-related functionality has been disabled for some releases.

    The following is a list of properties that are affected by this limitation:

    -Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Add
    -Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Copy
    -Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Modify
    -Infragistics.Documents.Reports.PDF.IPermissions.Print
    -Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Preferences.PDF.IPassword.Owner
    -Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Preferences.PDF.IPassword.User

    Also, it is currently not allowed to disable the saving/downloading of any PDF displayed on the client. More about this you can find here:
