how do I prevent a pdf from being downloadable?
-
I have uploaded pdfs on my site, but I don’t want visitors to be able to download them. Is there a way to prevent the download capability?
Thank you!

You really can’t. You can try to make it more difficult but there is no 100% fullproof protection. Never forget the golden rule:” Everything you put on the internet can and will be downloaded, copied, … one way or another.”

Thanks for the reply. Hmmm, any suggestions on how to at least make it more difficult? I’m using a free template and I don’t see any obvious options for limitations like this.

Thank you for the link! Useful information.
When you view the pdfs from my site, the browser has a download link in the corner. I guess there’s no way to make that button disabled/not appear for people?
