[ilugd] PDF files restriction on google-books site (cannot save or print them)

2013-02-26 Thread Sudhir Gandotra
Hello,

The google-books site shows various books, supposedly in pdf format.

But, these files, can only be viewed. They cannot be saved or printed.

Any idea on how is this achieved ?

Thanks.

no idea how it was/is achieved , but something similar can be done  using
http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/ and many other similar projects , did not
understand why you want to restrict it ?

Google Books loads Books pages with few machanism. One of them is loading
as low quality images.
Something like :
http://books.google.co.in/books?id=Chr1NDlUcI8Cpg=PR17img=1zoom=3hl=ensig=ACfU3U0eadAN0PnoWtaHIsoXYoIkk-N_vgw=685
Its a page from Python book - Python: Essential Reference

You cannot restrict someone from printing or saving once the content is
available at user's end - thats a simple theory.
If you do not want to restrict too much, you can use commercial Flashpaper
or opensource Flexpaper (as suggested by Satyaakam Goswami) to load book. I
may be wrong here, never tried much, but for these Flashpaper/Flexpaper,
you probably have to convert your PDF to swf using their provided tools.
