Therefore the need to prevent the download to start with is not so hard to understand. Unless I can find a way to prevent opening, saving etc for a Flash File. 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. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

I am sorry the right click menu is in German, but trust me when I say that there is no download option there either. Let me know if you have any other ideas. That doesn't look at all like that. And Chrome doesn't allow any other PDF viewer.
