Disable Snapshot Tool for "Content Copying: Not Allowed" document permission

Post by zarkogajic »

Hi Support,

For documents with 'Content Copying' set to 'Not Allowed' (Document Security / Permissions) - the Snapshot tool "does not work" - actually is as expected as screen shots from the document must not (/are not allowed to) be taken.

Does it make sense to then disable the Snapshot tool completely?

p.s.
I opened a document and wanted to take a snapshot - but it appeared nothing is working (no sound, no image taken) - I though this is a bug until I noticed Document Permissions have been set to disable 'content copying' - which I believe is the cause why Snapshot tool is "not working".

Hello, zarkogajic

This is not a bug, but the intended handling, the snapshot tool has many more uses that just copying content. It can be used to print an area, or run OCR, as well as a few other miscellaneous tasks, taking a snapshot is only one of the many features it works with.
