 * I’m using profile “max-doc-security” with the code [gview file=”[http://schools.nursingassistantbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/StartYourHealthCareerFaster.pdf&#8221](http://schools.nursingassistantbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/StartYourHealthCareerFaster.pdf&#8221);
   profile=”2″ width=”620px” height=”930px”]
 * It’s showing the documents nicely. But I want to disable others to download the
   file and to do this I’m enabling tick mark in “Block all download requests for
   file”. And this is preventing the file to be displayed with the error code 403.
 * you may have a look on the embeding page [http://schools.nursingassistantbook.com/?page_id=255](http://schools.nursingassistantbook.com/?page_id=255)
 * Thanks

 * Your whole site is currently returning a 500 error from “suspended.hostgator.
   com”. If you get your account restored again and need me to look at this particular
   issue, please post again.

 * Error 500 is solved and the website is accessible now. Please look at the issue
   again.

 * Hello,
 * Another hostgator user reported the same problem when using the enhanced viewer.
   It appears there is some system policy or web server configuration that prevents
   the enhanced viewer from loading properly.
 * A 403 error means you aren’t authorized – you’re trying to do something you’re
   not allowed to, or that you haven’t entered the right credentials to do. GDE 
   is an anonymous service and does not require any configuration or authorization
   of users at all. So it does not appear to be something I can fix on my end.
 * I’m continuing to look at the issue and if I can come up with a workaround I’ll
   let you know. Until that time you can either use the standard viewer (without
   document security) or try a different plugin for this functionality.
 * Sorry for the inconvenience…
 * Kevin
