Question

We are planning to add some of the publications on our website Oshopindia.com.

We want to make these documents Online Readable Only.

We donot want anyone to copy/cut/screenshot or copy the publication in any manner. As the publication is copy righted by supplier, we cannot allow anyone to replicate or reproduce the same. How can we add large publication document online in form of PDF or Epub format or any other format and make it secure? Our Website is PHP based.

Solution

Once you put your data online it's open to be copied. The only way to make it so that people can't copy it is to not put it online. You can hinder them from copying it, but you can't stop them. Large online publishers can't even do this. Look at an Amazon book preview. They use images, which makes it harder to copy the text, but you can still copy the image.

OTHER TIPS

Simply said you can not do this. If the content can be viewed people can make screenshots. If you want it to be secure don't publish it.

options:

  • Dont publish
  • Show an image so people can not copy text and use a good copyright
