How to protect file on USB from being copied? PDF copy protection, Copy protect PDF on USB drive and Hard Disk, USB Stick Content Copy Protection – PDF Protect-Software

How can I prevent PDF file on USB flash drive to being copy and paste either via right click or drag and drop copy to other device that is hookup to it like a PC? The file will be PDF, document file, JPG or some other image file, and some movie file etc.?

The scenario is the file will be needed to be just viewable to show people but they cannot copy any part of it out from it other than admin level that create/authorize full control of it. Example is like a person on a field trip is bring some presentation stored on USB flash drive and show it on field premise to showcase company stuff like brochure, PowerPoint, concept drawing, sales figure etc. but we do not allowed them to have those file on the USB drive to being able to copied off to client's PC or even their own home without authorization. Not even a phrase or JPG image from a particular document etc. Pretty much just view only mode.

VeryPDF DocSafe PDF Protection – protect PDF files from unauthorized use and misuse,

  • Stop PDF Sharing
  • Stop PDF Printing
  • Stop PDF Copying / Protect PDF against copying & distribution
  • Preventing Saving PDF / Save As
  • Stop PDF Download
  • Stop PDF from being Forwarded / Emailed.
    You cannot stop PDF files from being forwarded or emailed to others, but you can stop the recipients from using those files, see "Stop PDF Copying" above.  A VeryPDF DocSafe protected PDF file can be forwarded and emailed to another user but the recipient will not be able to view it unless the document owner has authorized them to use it.
    If you are the document publisher, you can email protected PDF files to users knowing that if they fall into the wrong hands they cannot be opened.  So if a protected PDF is accidentally forwarded to the wrong person they will not be able to use it.
  • Stop PDF Editing / Lock PDF from editing
  • Protect PDF against content & text copying
  • PDF Expiry. VeryPDF DocSafe enables document publishers to expire PDF files so they can no longer be used after a certain amount of time.  The following options are available:

    expire documents on a fixed date
    expire documents after a number of days
    expire documents after a number of views
    expire documents after a number of prints

    These options can also be used together so that you can enter say a number of days/views/prints and a fixed date and whatever occurs first causes the document to expire.  You might for example want a user to be able to use your documents for a 15 day trial period but those documents will expire on a fixed date regardless if the trial period is used or not.

    Expiry dates can be changed on the administration system at any time and document publishers can increase the number of views/prints available for each user.
