The restricted view wont even let users access the library. This whole application is garbage to be honest. How long has this been around without Microsoft addressing basic issues. The movement of folders for example. It is absolute hell. Whether you do it in modern view, or in file explorer, you either cannot access parent directories, or files just vanish without the system generating a debuggable error. Microsoft is useless when it comes to questions such as this. It's infuriating.
Then apply 'Restricted View' or 'View Only' per library or per folder. Not fun but it seems to work. Already tried. I am not sure if the people that give these suggestions out in the forums above not you, the links actually test their advice. I created a custom permission level and spent 3 hours individually trying different combinations of permissions. Again, microsoft stated this is a known issue due to the fact that PDFs and other files have no server-side file handlers.
There is no way to do this and actually limit downloading. You can limit downloading for word files all day. Thank you for your suggestions however. And I have found, if you prevent the ability to download a PDfF you can still print it, which circumvents the download restriction as you can print it to another PDF etc etc. Turning on Information Rights Management does stop the ability to print the PDF, but then you can not read it in the browser as someone else has pointed out above.

By default, Google Chrome opens a PDF file in the browser window instead of saving it to the downloads folder. To have PDF files open in the browser again, repeat these steps and select the Preview in Firefox option or Use other option to choose another program. By default, Opera opens a PDF file in the browser window instead of saving it to the downloads folder.
The most obvious one I can think of has already brought up. This option comes up even in Reader no matter what other security selections you have chosen.
In our case, Adobe Acrobat was purchased solely to provide some degree of protection for their own format. It is hard to believe that Adobe will let you prevent printing, prevent editing, prevent even opening without a password or you can really go all out and use a certificate for your encryption.
Yet they have no options to prevent saving at any point, anywhere. There are probably programs that are actually sold just to remove the DRM from Adobe documents and even if not, the point was that the client specified that no downloads be allowed even by users who had access to the private site. Therefore the need to prevent the download to start with is not so hard to understand. Unless I can find a way to prevent opening, saving etc for a Flash File. Next, is it possible to password protect a Flash file from opening when clicked on?
I am not sure if I could post the code here or whether it is acceptable to paste links either but a Google search for "Maximus right click" will take you to it. And it was one of several examples, it just happened to be the one I could implement the easiest and worked better than the others.
Credit where credit is due. It seems to me that this is a place where there is an obvious need for a one-step packaged solution and usually "The Laws of Nature" take care of such an Imbalance in short order. Yet my research has taken me through many years of posters all asking for the same thing. If I find it, and it works, I'm buying it.
I wish I had skills as a programmer because I have some pretty good ideas of ways to implement such a product, unfortunately, I do not know how to put these ideas into practical use. You could also control printing from javascript on the client side. Although we should agree that ultimately you cannot prevent some form of document capture specially through screen capture technology either through phone or computer , the goal is to prevent direct download of original document.
Some suggest you turn it into images, but this is not necessary. There is clearly a way, as several cloud services allow you to share pdf files, removing the download option, without converting the PDF to images a superior method because it retains important properties like word search. Personally, as a user of Outlook email, I use the cloud service it provides, OneDrive.
I am no expert on HTMl so cannot tell you exactly how it is done, but it might still provide you some insights. Here is the code for one particular PDF I shared without private information and other bits that seemed unnecessary to me :. I suggest to modify pdf.
