You can force Cognos to send a PDF encrypted with Password protection.  It should be under settings for the PDF output in your advanced properties.  Let me know if you need any other help on this.  dadkison@brightstarpartners.com

Best,

You would not be able to print without opening the file, so the encryption would work until the password was given.
