I have an Umbraco website and I want to share some PDF files on it. However, I also want to ensure that no one can copy the content of these files - to the extent that even print screen button doesnt work when someone wants to print the screen displaying those PDFs. I know there is a software Copysafe - https://www.copysafe.net/ which prevents screenshots of the page. I have two questions:
Is there any way I can display PDFs and prevent someone from copying my data (disabling PrtScr button, watermarks etc) using Umbraco out of box functionality or some simple development work?
Is there any add on that Umbraco has which will help me use copysafe functionality on my website?
Thanks for reading my question and hope you could help :)

I'm trying to find a way to host some fillable PDF forms on our website that people can download, fill out, and then they have a SUBMIT button on it that would 1) upload the completed form to a folder on our web server as a PDF file, and then ideally 2) email a direct link to the file on the server. I know how to add the button, just not clear on the actions side for this scenario.
Adobe docs have some info here, https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/publishing-interactive-pdf-web-forms.html, but nothing specific to what I need.
Does anyone have any experience with this? And if it's even a realistic goal given the number of different PDF readers, browser-based viewers, etc and how it would be supported by all?
Thanks in advance

I'm at the start of my year studying again, and I wanted to download these notes...is there way to achieve this? I tried to save page but that obviously won't work, it's an html, I want the original file to save it to my pc.
Is there maybe any web I can paste the link and get the file?
PS: If this is not the appropriate subforum, please tell me where I could post the issue in the stack exchange forums. Thanks!
Answer:
The publish link is a view-only Presesntation mode copy of the Google Slide file, and making a copy from this is disallowed. This is by design and can not be changed.
More Information:
From the help article on publishing Workspace files:
If you send someone the URL of a published file, they’ll see a version they can’t edit that looks different from yours. Here’s what others will see:
Presentations: A view-only version or a version in presentation mode with full-screen slides.
And from the Publish dialog:
Make your content visible to anyone by publishing it to the web. You can link to or embed your document. Learn more
Note: the wording here is view-only and visible, which is not the same as read-only, which would include file copying.
If you wish to obtain a copy of the presentation, I suggest contacting the owner of the file.
I am working presently on the adf side and I am stuck with some issues.
I have a page where I have to display the pdf files. The pdf files are in another site and the links are present in a column of the database.But when I try to access those links they are downloading rather than displaying. I need to display those pdf files in my inline frame rather than downloading.
I heard many suggestions like write a bean and put the file in session and get display them in page .But I am not clear.
So please help me on this.
I have a check box at the end and the checkbox should be enabled in my page only when the displayed pdf scrolled to end.
Please help me solving those issues.
When you create a link to a PDF there is only so much you can do to make it display in the browser. The most important thing you must do on the server that delivers the PDF is to make sure it is presented with the correct MIME-type and without a content-disposition header value of attachment.
After that, it's up to the browser to either show it in a browser tab or to download the file. I know Chrome will show the PDF in the browser when it's linked to, not sure if it also does that when it's linked in an iframe.
I don't think there's a reliable way to make it work the way you want, simply because it's very browser dependent.
I'm trying to make an iPhone application which can read PDFs in full screen and follow links on PDFs, but I can't find the right way to do it.
First, I tried to use an UIWebView to read the PDF file, but it doesn't work exactly as I wanted (I was not able to fix the link problem).
The second solution was to use the Quartz API to read the PDF. I took a look at http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/drawingwithquartz2d/dq_pdf/dq_pdf.html, but i'm only able to print one page on the screen, and there is no way to jump to next pages.
Can someone help me ? I'm running out ideas :)
Thanks for your help
Quartz does not know how to change pages, click on links, etc. It only "draws" the PDF page you want - you will have to do all gestures by yourself (or use UIScrollView and such).
BTW, I guess your question is duplicated. Take a look at: Fast and Lean PDF Viewer for iPhone / iPad / iOs - tips and hints?
Although it would be nice to not use PDF, we are using a legacy system that only generates PDF forms.
I am working with some PDF forms that embed JavaScript to submit data back to a server. The form works when viewed and filled out in the browser.
Unfortunately, our users like to download the forms to their computer, fill them out completely, and only then get an error from Acrobat Reader that it cannot submit the form unless it is loaded in a browser.
How can I make the JavaScript form submission work outside of the web browser, prevent the users from downloading the form, or have the form warn them it won't work before they fill it out?
My knowledge of PDF is probably at least one version of Acrobat behind the curve, but I think the short answer to your question is "You can't".
From a bigger picture point of view: the use of PDF as a data entry user interface is a path of much pain and suffering.
If your objective is to provide a picture-perfect UI available over the web, look at solutions like Blueprint CSS.
If your objective is to provide a 'rich' user experience, look at JQuery.
If your objective is to save yourself the work of replicating an existing document as a web form, then you have not yet learned how much real work it takes to use PDF as a data-entry mechanism.
