You charge people to export content from a web app?!? It would seem these users are wise enough to realise that no matter what approach you take, they will get the content from the page.

It appears that one of the users is screen scraping printer friendly HTML output and moving the data into quick books in order to avoid paying for the export upgrade. Ideas I've had to muck up the data to stop the scraper: 1. random white chars that wouldn't be visible to the user in Printer Friendly, but would alter the values enough to make it a pain in quick books. Might have issues w/ printing. 2. random # of empty <TD> cells 3. convert text to .gif Has anybody dealt w/ this issue? What did you do?
