Next, is it possible to password protect a Flash file from opening when clicked on? I am not sure if I could post the code here or whether it is acceptable to paste links either but a Google search for "Maximus right click" will take you to it. And it was one of several examples, it just happened to be the one I could implement the easiest and worked better than the others.
Credit where credit is due. It seems to me that this is a place where there is an obvious need for a one-step packaged solution and usually "The Laws of Nature" take care of such an Imbalance in short order. Yet my research has taken me through many years of posters all asking for the same thing. If I find it, and it works, I'm buying it. I wish I had skills as a programmer because I have some pretty good ideas of ways to implement such a product, unfortunately, I do not know how to put these ideas into practical use.
You could also control printing from javascript on the client side. Although we should agree that ultimately you cannot prevent some form of document capture specially through screen capture technology either through phone or computer , the goal is to prevent direct download of original document.
Some suggest you turn it into images, but this is not necessary. There is clearly a way, as several cloud services allow you to share pdf files, removing the download option, without converting the PDF to images a superior method because it retains important properties like word search. Personally, as a user of Outlook email, I use the cloud service it provides, OneDrive.
I am no expert on HTMl so cannot tell you exactly how it is done, but it might still provide you some insights. Here is the code for one particular PDF I shared without private information and other bits that seemed unnecessary to me :. I suggest to modify pdf. How are we doing?

You do know that anything you display to the user can be printed in some fashion or another If you serve it, they can find some way to use it. You can't stop a user from printing the screen. If you have information you want to display and you don't want it being printed physically, PDF isn't exactly the format of choice.
It's whole purpose is to be lovingly printed. In my business, the need for the PDF to not be downloaded is due to not wanting customers to be able to easily share downloaded materials with other people. I make worksheets, and if they are easy to share, the customer is more likely to email them to a friend. If sharing them is made more complicated, they are less likely to want to go to the trouble.
Not being able to download them without having advanced computer knowledge is good enough for me. Hope this sheds light on a need in the industry. Things like being able to get a screen shot, etc. Hope this helps. I i — Janet Giel-Romo. Add a comment. Green Tech. MVP Award Program. Video Hub Azure. Microsoft Business. Microsoft Enterprise.

Thank You. Labels: Labels: SharePoint Online. Cian Allner. PDF is also supported.

Hi SunilK90 Have you tried to restrict downloading the office files like excel, or word using the IRM, if not please check and provide me your feedback. Hi Mahhus , I've managed to restrict download and print for MS office files like word, excel and powerpoint using view only permission and IRM.
Thanks Regards Sunil. Hi SunilK90 Thanks for your reply.. Bet Regards, Mahhus. Michael When we apply the view only permission to PDF files, we are not able to download the files using Edge and Chrome because with those browsers, the PDF files open in the browser by default.
So this seems to be a solution to disable the download for PDFs. Do you know if with other browsers or extensions, this behaviour can be different? By default, most downloaded PDF files open in the Internet browser currently in use, usually in a new window or tab. This page will outline how to make the browser download PDF files automatically, rather than open them in a new tab. To proceed, select your browser from the list below and follow the instructions.
To change the name of a PDF file you want to download, right-click the download link and select Save As.
