    Hi, thanks for your reply.

    Maybe specifically blocking PDF extensions isn’t possible, but I do see some websites that can block out the specific content from being picked up by print functions, Printfriendly, etc.

    For example, if I use Printfriendly on the website, it will only pick up some images and other text, but not the desired text. Same goes for Ctrl+p.

    So it seems as if there’s a way to hide the desired text from being picked up by the Printfriendly, and only presenting the undesirable text to Printfriendly/Ctrl+P/etc.

    I’ve also tried adding
    @media print {
    .price_match_no_print {
    display:none !important;
    }
    }
    to the style sheet and class=”no-print” to the html. This only prevents ctrl+p from working, but PrintFriendly still works. It looks as if I need to hide the content from PrintFriendly somehow.

    I would block their IP, but it seems very flimsy as it could change at any time. It’d be great to find a more solid way, but if not that’s a great suggestion I’ll try out. Also, I’m aware a determined person can still get what they want, it’s just preventing 90% of the easy grabs. That’s fine with me.

    Thanks again for your help, I appreciate it.
