Hey, I have few pdf documents which I want to publish on my website. I want that visitors can read all the documents online but there should be no download option. Do you have any facility or wordpress plugin to make this possible? Thanks.

There is no Wordpress plugin at this time but a relatively simple JavaScript could be developed that would be run on every page to convert direct links to PDF files into click events that use Embed API which can allow viewing but prevent downloading and printing.

Adding to my previous reply...

I just wrote a basic jQuery plugin that will find all direct links to PDF files on the page and then change the behavior so that the files are displayed using Embed API in Lightbox mode. You can see it in action here. The HTML for the page is below. The jquery plugin should work in WordPress. Any number of WordPress plugins can be used to add it but I prefer Scripts-n-Styles. Be sure to load the jquery plugin after you load the Embed API JavaScript. You will obviously need to replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID with your credential from Adobe.

        const clientId = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID";
        var viewParameters = {
            defaultViewMode: "FIT_PAGE", // or "FIT_WIDTH"
            showPageControls: true, // default is true
            dockPageControls: true, // default is false
            showDownloadPDF: false, // default is true
            showPrintPDF: false, // default is true
            exitPDFViewerType: "RETURN" // or "CLOSE" - sets how to exit the lightbox
        }

        $(document).ready(function () {
            document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function () {
                $("body").useAdobeLightbox(clientId, viewParameters);
            });
        });
    </script>
</body>
