Regardless I think there is no way you can stop anyone from taking content be it via scraping automaticall or by pressing print screen. You can no doubt make it harder but I doubt you will be able to prevent it.

I'm a programmer. I don't make up the sales rules or talk to clients. This company has offered clients a "Lite" version for a reduced price and one of the features is a print friendly of a report. I have no idea how much the upgrade costs - but it comes with export functionality - ports it into flat file or whatever you want. Again, I didn't make this decision...

I'm like switzerland on this stuff. >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. >Print Screen, CTRL-V etc etc etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
