Microsoft Office Documents Printing Log/Records
Hi All, Through this post, I would like to ask : Has anyone known how I can get (print) logs/records of an Microsoft Office document? For example: Someone has printed the document, Is there any API for me to check who has printed the document? Lastly, many thanks in advance =) redeville

I don't think there is such an API within Microsoft Office. However, most digital rights management (DRM) implementations will include the ability to restrict what a user can do with controlled content and to audit when someone performs an action on controlled content. DRM is probably WAY over-kill for what you are trying to achieve. These links might be helpful for learning more about DRM:http://www.updatexp.com/digital-rights-management.htmlhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/rightsmgmt/default.mspxYou might consider some type of 3rd party print auditing software that would let you search through audit logs to see more information about who is printing and what they are printing:http://print-auditing.software.informer.com/Jim McBee - Blog - http://mostlyexchange.blogspot.com
