Thank you Mark,
of course we are not dealing with top-secret documents, we want to
increase the effort to download documents. It should be more difficult
than a right mouse click. Finally it is maybe the most common way, to
manage this with user rights. It is always about the dilemma to show
content on one hand and protect it on the other hand.
Thank you very much for your assessment.
Best.
Matthias.

The prior intention to use the viewer is to protect the documents from
downloading. Most of the viewer has the opposite intention - to share
documents.
Has anybody an idea, how to protect for instance pdf from downloading
within the DSpace presentation.
Unless you implement a secret custom protocol available only in some
closed-source viewer, I don't see any way to do that. The server has
no way of knowing what kind of software sent an HTTP GET. The client
is supposed to say what it is, but most of them can easily be adjusted
to lie.
Even a custom protocol is not really secure, because the user can see
all of the packets on the wire and has the executable code to examine.
It depends on what you mean by "protect". What is your secret worth
to your opponent? How much is it worth to you? You can make it
difficult and costly to save a copy, but not impossible. If you're
dealing in life-or-death secrets, have the user come to you and view
the material under guard. If not...insurance and a vigilant legal
department might be more efficient than technology.
