How to make PDFs available for viewing online only

Sorry for the odd thread title — it is the only one that makes sense.
I work for a small non-profit historical group.  We are digitizing to archival standards a collection of newspapers and periodicals and want to make them available to the public.  However we do not want to just put the PDF out there as that offers opportunities for theft.  Some of the already released material has already been lifted from Archives.Org and is now being sold on CDs and the Internet by for-profit nefarious people.
So..., is there a way to take the PDF and have it so that it will not work unless it is viewed on our website?  In other words, if a person downloads the file to their computer it will not work?  I think it should be possible to include a java script routine somewhere whereby if the file is opened online, it opens.  But if a person downloads it to their computer and tries to open the file and does not see a small script file, it does not open.  OR, is it possible to give each file it's own certificate for online use only?
A sample PDF can be viewed here.
Thank you one and all for any replies,
A. Wayne Webb

Thank you for the response George and Isakten.
I found my solution, and better yet it will not break the budget.  CopySafe PDF Protector while perhaps a bit unwieldy for a first-time end user, offers all I needed.  It forces the end user to add an add-on for their browser and we all know that can be difficult at best, but the program takes care of it handily.
Cordially,
A. Wayne Webb

    Dreamweaver had this capability many releases ago, but it has been dropped, so it's no longer available.

  • How to make iBooks available in iBookstore for Sri Lanka and India?

    Does anyone know how to make iBooks available for purchase in iBookstore for Sri Lanka and India?  I have tried going through iTunes Connect to add regions, but it doesn't give me the option to add any more.  Thanks

    Consult this list to see whether paid books are available in those countries:

    If not, you have to use another store, like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony.

  • Convert doc to PDF and make it available for workspace

    Hi,
    is there a way, how to convert a doc file to PDF file and make it available for the workspace (accept - deny scenario)?
    Lets say, that I have a contract that has to be approved by my manager. I convert the doc to PDF file and send it to his to-do queue. He than decides if it is a good agreement or bad one.
    I see couple of tricks in this. First, the converted file needs to have process fields included, so it has to be a form.
    Converted file is a flat PDF. I tried to use DDX to merge flat PDF and form with process fields, however that throwed and error.
    Workaround could be creating an envelope saying, hey, look in the attachments section, there is something you need to review.
    I can create an attachment in the form with DDX code, however only in the DDX UI interface, for some reason, it wont work in the process in LC.
    Also, I have difficulties with routes after user hits the accept, deny buttons in workspace, nothing happens :-(
    Could you please give me some advices, what kind of variables I need, what types they should be and how the process should looklike? I want to invoke it over the WSDL so at least one document has to be passed over it. The envelope can be in the resources section in LC (makes sense, but I do not know how to address it in the DDX and afterwards)
    Thanks in advance,
    H.

    Hi Jasmin,
    I can add the converted document to PDF as a attachment to the XDP form in the workspace.
    I am strugling now with that envelope (the XDP), cant render it to PDF and than workspace enable it. I will have a look around the web because it will be there. One question is can I control permitions on the attachment? I want just read only permitions.
    Thanks Jasmin for your continuous help.

  • How to make a form for input in web interface builder

    Hi expert:
        How to make a form for input in web interface builder?I have already used it to do PS planning, but I don't know how to  draw lines and checkboxes . Thanks in advance.

    WAD:
    Open the WAD and create a new template. On the left hand navigation you will have several Web Items available. Under 'Standard' you have 'Analysis' item. Pull that into your template to the right. Under the Properties tab you need to pick the query [form/layout] that you have built in Query Designer.
    You will also find other items such as Button group, Checkbox, drop down, list box etc available. Pick and drag into the template whatever it is you require. Lets say you want a button. Under the Properties tab select the 'Command' that you require. You could use standard commands that are available there. You could also define functions and commands that you require.
    Query Designer:
    Open the QD and drag the characteristics and key figures that you require into the rows and columns of the QD. You would need to specify restrictions under the Filter tab of the QD based on the granularity of data that you require. You would need to remember that the key figures need to be made Input Ready [do this by clicking on KF and on the planning tab select "change by user and planning functions"].
    This shouldgive you a start. After you've explored it yourself a bit we can discuss further and I can certainly provide you additional details/material on these areas.

  • How to make pdfs above 8MB open in browser?

    Pdfs whose size is below 8MB open in the browser while those above 8MB open in an Acrobat window. How to make pdfs irrespective of their size open in the browser window only?

    The setting you are looking for is located in Tools > Options > Applications. If setting it to using the in-browser plugin doesn't work, you will have to contact Adobe support at http://www.adobe.com/support/.
    '''Your Firefox version is several years old. It's no longer supported, and using it is a security risk.'''
    Please update to version 3.6.10 using '''Help''' > '''Check for updates''' menuitem, or by downloading the installer from http://getfirefox.com. Thank you.

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • How to make material availability check work during Work Order creation

    Hi Experts,
    Kindly advice about these matters:
    1. How to make material availability check work during Work Order creation?
    My requirement is Work Order can not be created when it has missing parts. I have set the config to '3' can not created when is has missing parts, but it still does not work.
    I have implemented SAP Notes 1148139 on my system (SAP ECC 6 Ehp 5) also, but still does not have any effect.
    I must not set the config Res./Purch Doc creation to 'immediately', because it does not fit to my user requirement. Is there anyone knows how to solve this requirement?
    2. How to make information message/ Availability check screen appear when sparepart is missing, without clicking Availability Check button? for example: appear when clicking Save button.

  • Make queries available for other users

    Hello,
    I have created a query in SQVI (quickviewer) and I am trying to make it available for other users.  How can I do that?  Do I need to create an infoset in SQ02?
    Thx,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    Though I have not worked using T.code SQVI, I had done the ABAP Query using "SAP Query". The procedure in it is in T.Code SQ03, we create a User Group and assign the users in the same, so that the users can access the Query. Hope this might help you. If you require I can send you the documentation on the same.

  • How to make a group for selectd Object javascript

    How to make a group for selectd Object javascript

    There is currently no native way to email groups from iPad.
    The only way to do this is if your recipients are already members a a distribution group controlled elsewhere such as a Google Group or an  Exchange Organisation, then you can email the distribution group address which will then in turn forward to the individual email address of the members.
    Does it have to be email as currently you would have to add each recipient to the email manually.
    iOS to my knowledge doesn't support contact groups in context other than organisation.

    The problem with the datagridview is that it can only show one table.
    For more tables 3th party datagrid's are better. 
    Although you can start with using the old datagrid. Despite what is written on MSDN is it a complete different control then the datagridview. You can add in to your toolbox by right clicking on it and then add it.
    The datasource of a DataGrid can be a complete dataset which is showed with all its relations.
