Showing PDF without save option
#1
Hello,

Is it somehow possible to show PDF on the page (not in the new window) without an option to save or print PDF?

Now I put IWUrlWindow on the form and call PDF file, but it shows with a toolbar with save and print buttons.

There are some techniques that can make the download/saving of the PDF file a little harder for the average user, but you can't actually prevent the user from saving it in a bullet proof way.

IntraWeb has a one time cache file type which could possibly be used to handle it as well, but it is the same case above.

Another use @JNP also reminded me that you can use the IWCanvas to display the PDF without any possibility to copy and/or download. But you will also lose other functionality like search... and you also have to display pages one by one

Adding '#toolbar=0' (no quotes) to the end of the url might work in most browsers.
