Does anyone know if it is possible to provide some sort of digital rights management solution to files provided by DSpace?Alternatively, and I think this was asked some time ago, is there a way to restrict downloads of a PDF, so that it can be viewed in the browser and not downloaded.Basically, I'm looking for ways to prevent distribution of items, but still permit viewing them.
[…] I did this for a project outside DSpace.We allow access to back-files of journals, books etc. not hosted by the publisher anymore. Consists of a Python service and an Angular UI. Encrypts every PDF with random password and you can't copy, print and save it (we use this excellent PDF-viewer here: https://pdfviewer.net ).
Why do I tell this ?First, you exclude any person using a screen reader, because the pages are images, not text (one can use text, but then Firefox can show it in Reader mode). Second, and important: everyone can use a smartphone and just copy the content from the screen, incl. OCR after that :) .
So, this is more a security barrier against one-click-copy. Michael -- All messages to this mailing list should adhere to the Code of Conduct: https://lyrasis.org/code-of-conduct/--- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
