I have done downloadable products before: software and MP3's. CFContent is the way to go for controlling downloads.
BTW, You will run into just about every problem that MP3's and warez have caused. Basically most everything that happens after it is downloaded is out of your control. >>> Create an image of the first page with a watermark? If so is there any way to do that programmatically from a word doc or would they have to scan an image?

They want to upload word/pdf documents and if the user is a member they can login and have access to the document library. If they are not a member they'll have to purchase a "download" of each doc. The first thing that comes to mind is how do you let them see what's in a document without giving it away? Create an image of the first page with a watermark? If so is there any way to do that programmatically from a word doc or would they have to scan an image? If we convert any word docs to PDF is there any way to watermark/restrict its use until it's paid for? How would you all approach something like this?
