I think that this is almost an impossible task. The only near conceivable way, is perhaps by containing the information within a Java Applet on your page. This would require a Java PDF reader, which would then access the file from an undisclosed location, without any options to save or print. But a very determined user could take screen shots and print those out. So, you can try to control access in a very round-about way, but I don't think you can ever fully prevent unwanted access.

I have certain documents, say pdf, on the server, and I want to allow certain users to access my documents and view them... The user should not be able to save, print etc. the document. Also, he should not be able to use/manipulate the temporary file that is created. Can someone please guide me?
