I'm looking to create a pdf that can only be downloaded once,

Question

I'm looking to create a pdf that can only be downloaded once, can't be shared and can't be moved from the computer it was downloaded onto.

Any and all help would be awesome.

The end goal is to load these pdf's on to a website to sell, but for only the people who pay to be able to use them and make so they can't share them.

An example is NFPA 211 - you can buy and download the book, but it can't be moved from the computer nor can it be converted. if you need it on another computer you have to buy another copy.

Again any help would be awesome.

thank you

Hi tomu58088414 ,The features you are describing can be achieved by applying Digital Rights Management (DRM) to your PDFs.Adobe provides DRM via LiveCycle Digital Rights Management Server or Adobe Content ServerPDFs with LiveCycle DRM can be downloaded and opened in Acrobat or Reader. https://blogs.adobe.com/livecyclepost/tag/rights-management/ Content-server protected content can be distributed as EPUB files.As TestScreen mentions, this is often expensive. You can review DRM offers from various companies.Regards,Tariq Dar.
