Question:I want to display the contents of PDF file in a webpage. I don't want the browser to download when the user clicks. I do not whether there is a solution on VeryPDF?
Answer: If you need to show PDF in a website and disable downloading ability, maybe you can have a try of embedding PDF to a website. Then the viewer only can read PDF but they can not download it. VeryPDF just released a new free online cloud based application named VeryPDF Online Document Viewer (Flash Paper Viewer) Cloud API, by which you can change local PDF file to online PDF and get embedded code which can help you embed PDF into website according to the website size. The most important is that this software is totally free if you do not need to show PDF online more than 24 hours. But if you need to embed PDF longer than 24 hours, please buy an API code which allows you to access all of VeryPDF Cloud APIs, include 20+ APIs and 200+ parameters. Please check more information of this software on homepage, in the following part I will show you how to show PDF in web and disable downloading ability.

Hey guys,
We’ve been trying to use this for our PDFS…basically, we have it so people can view them online in their browser but not download/save the PDF to their computer so this seemed perfect. However, we upload the PDF click the “view online” button and nothing happens? Any idea what we’re doing wrong?
Thanks!
Ryan
