I'm going to write a site that lets users to view pdf files but I don't want them to save the files to their own hard drive due to the copy right law. I'm researching how to view it by using PHP, but I have no idea how to disable user not to download the files.
Actually, I want to use JavaScript to disable this action, but I get suggestions from other people not to do so because it's annoying to user.
So any suggestion or help would be very much appreciated.

USE CSS opacity: 1.0 with a positioned over your content...You could output the pdf using opacity: 1.0.
Now when users try to click or copy, they get nothing because they are really clicking on a blank !!!!Its a hack, but it works! The user will be able to read the content, they could take a screen shot, but they won't be able to actually
copy the text and paste it anywhere.

You can't prevent your visitors from downloading, copying or scrapping anything you're outputting to their browsers. If they can view it they can always screenshot it. Which brings in the optimal solution to your problem: Simply offer image copies of your documents instead of actual PDF files. You can convert
/ mass convert PDF files to JPEG easily with Photoshop.

I hope I am not very late to reply. But here's is something you can do to prevent the users. Use iFrame to display your PDF and make sure that you are displaying using Google. I used the following code :
Here you can simply change the url=//www.tutorialspoint.com/php/php_tutorial.pdf and replace it by your own URL where you kept your PDF.
