IT Question - Preventing PDF Download

[dave335]

Quick question for the IT folks. I teach at the university. As part of copyright rules, publisher does not want students to have the ability to download the PDF files of the assignment solutions. Is there a way to post a PDF on say Blackboard and then prevent a student from downloading the file?

The IT people are supposedly working on it but based on their progress my students are getting impatient.

Thanks in advance.

oh cool! i wrote blackboard, well most of it. sorry if you hate it

so first, let me get this straight because it doesn't make sense yet. You want people to be able to VIEW a PDF but not SAVE it, correct? Because it's always downloaded
