Since you have such a mix, especially with the pdf's, this is a pretty hard
combo to come up with a simple solution. I'm kinda' with the others to look
for some OTS that can handle the mix, limit views and printing (how about
screen shots?).
Hard problem ... I'd think using Adobe on the server and converting to html
or xml would help a lot, it gets away from their proprietary system and
would view better in the browser.
