PDF client-side viewer without file download












0















Lets say I have PDF document with 100 pages. This file contains some sensitive data and file should not be accessible for everyone. I have ASP.NET web application and I need to achieve that some of logged-in users can view this PDF file in browser but they can NOT be able to download it. I know that user can do printscreen and it is fine (doing printscreen for 100 pages is a lot of effort). But PDF file can not be listed in sources in dev console (it could be downloaded by one click).



So I am looking for some sort of "web viewer" (JS? HTML5?). Something like pdf.js but with server-side file processing. It would be nice to pre-process PDF file into some sort of mismatch and then display it.



Do you know anything like that? No problem if it is not free, I can pay for license.
