Ahh, one requirement I forgot. This client does not want PDF files. :(
Now, if we can show this is the most cost effective way to go and it gives them their level of confidence I think we can go that way. However, will the PDF allow me to copy a paragraph or two worth of text, let's say a total of 5 times and then shut off all Copy/Paste functionality?

You will need to set the permissions on the PDF document prior to deployment. You would need to get a full version of Adobe to do this; but it can be done programmatically. There are several security settings and you can toggle them any way you wish.

Hi All,
I would like to create an asp.net button control that launches a new window with a PDF document inside that has all buttons disabled ( I.E. No Save As, Print etc ) and no right click functions, basically just read only. However I am not entirely sure which way to go with this.
This will be part of a larger application that lets clients view PDF documents but prevents them from downloading them or altering the content of the PDF.
Any Ideas?

Subject: [aspnet-architecture] Controlling Copy/Paste/Print
We have a possible client requesting us to scope out what would be involved in changing a site's behaviors.? Basically, this is a library app with a ton of books.? The Publishers of these books want the client to enforce copyright laws more than they are now.? So, the criteria they want us to scope out would be:
Restrict Copy/Paste to a certain character limit and a certain number of copies per book (can quote the book but not copy whole chapters) Disallow Printing Possibly create a client app/plug-in to do this
One of the fears I have of doing this type of project is the nature of the Internet to begin with.? I do not know of any public solution like this without creating your own client to run on multiple platforms.? It would have to be done with streaming so nothing is stored on the client hard drive disk.? The feeling I was left with was - "Oh this sounds simple.? We can do this." from our lead sales person.
So, I am trying to get some ideas before Monday so we can make an informed decision on a project like this.? We will (90%) be doing a full discovery and provide 2 or 3 separate solution paths they can take.? We may (50%) take on the development of the chosen solution path.? I want to make sure we are a success at this one.
