I have PDF and PPT content in my browser application. I want users to just view the content. I don't want them to download or print it. How can I disable the download, save as and print option in the PDF and PPT content.

If you can view you can print it. So unless your configures the Browser in some way to only Read-Only that is the only way to prevent printing or downloading.

Hi chaits14, as WestEnd points out, if the entire file is sent to the browser, there's usually a way to save it.

However, you are correct that the built-in PDF viewer makes that very easy. If you prefer a viewer that doesn't have a download button, you can install a web application version of the viewer on your site and change what appears on the toolbar. Here's a somewhat similar thread:

I want to remove the pdf toolbar using HTML and CSS. Can I do that?
