That's not possible for most files. PDF does have the option of password protecting files to provide varying levels of access, I suspect that Powerpoint might offer the same thing. For most files, though, once the user has it they can do anything they want with it.

Anyone know if there is a surefire way to make all downloaded files read-only? We have a client that wants to have files available to download, but the original author doesn't want to have them be able to be edited. We're talking PowerPoint, Word, PDF files here, BTW. Any advice on how to make this happen would be appreciated. We've found that even using the "Read Only" attribute in the file properties doesn't persist once a copy has been downloaded to the client.
