Hi Bassilawaqleh,

 

As Bernd_Alheit already mentioned, it is not possible to restrict the PDF downloading using the Acrobat application. 

You may restrict editing or other changes in the PDF using the password security. For more details on securing the PDF, please refer to the following: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/securing-pdfs-passwords.html

 

Let us know if you have any questions.

 

Regards,

Meenakshi

Without downloading people can't view or print the file.

Thanks

I have students that I want them to print the file but I dont want anyone to have it on his device, is there anyway so I could achieve this?

No, none at all. If it's on the internet it can be downloaded, saved, and shared.
