Hi all,
I am using ASP.NET 2.0, in my application i need to show a pdf file in web page,
It should not allow user to take print and select text from pdf file.
By using javascript i disable the IE & pdf toolbars, but it allows to select text.
Can anyone tell me how to disable the text selection in pdf.?

Thanks & regards ,
senthil.

I usually just password encrypt the pdf. You can set the pdf to not allow copying of text and images.
