Is there something I can inbed in an html file that will prevent the file from being written to a pdf. I work for a publisher and am looking for ways to slow down piracy.

I work on a website that is an online trade publication that allows subscribers to print a daily issue. Essentially the users are printing a print friendly html file that is hidden off the users screen. I'm looking for a way to prevent the user from printing this file to pdf. Or writing the file to a pdf. I realize there is now way to totally prevent this especially if the scan the print out but would like to be able to slow them down by embedding something in the html file that would make it difficult for them to email my product around digitally via pdf.
