How do I restrict PDF downloads from CONTENTdm?

Applies to
  • CONTENTdm 
Answer

There is no way to prevent browsers from downloading the PDF locally. This is inherent behavior of web browsers.
If you would like to restrict access you will need to set item permissions. This can be done at a collection or item level.
