Protect embedded PDF Captivate 9

[thijsv98073438]

Hi Adobe community,

I want to embed PDF's in my captivate courses. The content comes from a scientific library and needs to be protected. Our students can see them but it is forbidden to download the PDF or sent it to someone else. The PDF's embed very nice in a viewer but the viewer shows buttons to download or print it. I saw some services like this one - Digital Rights Management | Document Security | FileOpen DRM Software  - where you can upload a PDF. They provide a secure PDF viewer. I have problems with this solution because the students need to open another window and these services are very expensive.

Does someone has experience with this kind of problem?

Bye,

There was an earlier thread discussing DocuSign:

Captivate and Docu-Sign?

Docusign is more focused on capturing signatures on legal documents, but I'd expect the security to be considerable.

Does the scientific library have the ability to store, secure, select and sell the PDFs?  It might be redundant to build your own solution when you should be able to link to these files within the library environment.
