    Objective:
    I want to embed a document (PDF, DOCX, or any other type) into a webpage (e.g., WordPress site), but I need to protect the content. Specifically:

    • Users should not be able to copy the content (text or images).
    • Users should not be able to download or save the document.
    • The document must still be viewable (scrollable) for reference.

    Constraints:

    • I cannot allow users to extract or replicate any part of the content.
    • I understand that full-proof protection is not possible via frontend alone, but I want to make it as restrictive as technically feasible.

    What I’ve Tried / Considered:

    • Using <iframe> or embedded viewers (like Google Docs Viewer or PDF.js).
    • Applying JavaScript restrictions like disabling right-click, copy, and keyboard shortcuts.
    • Hiding download buttons and toolbar options.

    Required Outcome:
    A secure, embedded document viewer that:

    • Prevents copying of content (via selection, Ctrl+C, etc.)
    • Prevents downloading the document (no toolbar download button, no right-click save)
    • Is scrollable and user-friendly
    • Ideally works within WordPress or can be custom-coded if needed.

    Hi @rbale0831,

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    Unfortunately, it’s not currently possible.
    We are making use of the document viewer services from Google, Microsoft, and Box.com to provide a seamless experience. Since they are third-party services, we do not have control over any features that come with the viewer.

    Regards,
