Hello,

We receive proprietary PDFs from a third-party as donations.  Rather than
incur the expense of printing and binding them to add to the collection,
we’d like to provide access electronically.  However, the third party wants
assurances that we can prevent downloading and printing of the PDFs.  So
I’m exploring this possibility.

Does anyone have any experience with a way to accomplish this type of
protection?  I’m thinking there must be a product or platform out there
that can take a PDF and provide DRM restrictions to it to limit downloading
and printing.

Thanks for your help,


Lisa
