    Hi. Your plugin works great. I’ve embedded a link to a PDF on a page have it opening in a new window. Download is restricted when opened but print in not. Is there a way to restrict that? I basically want site visitors to only view the PDF or any other document; not interact with it in any other way.
    Thank you.

    Unfortunately I don’t think Google Drive has a feature to restrict printing (whereas it is possible to prevent direct downloads). This isn’t very helpful for PDFs since you can ‘print to PDF’ on many computers…

    You might want to take a look at PDF Embedder Premium Secure for a way to display embedded PDFs in a way that makes downloads and printing difficult:

    Of course, it is still always possible for users to take screenshots or just write down the information!

    Thanks,

    Dan
