allow users to print but not download pdf

[babloo]

Hello,

This is regarding a website where users comes and registers for getting the music lyrics. I am doing the programming for this site. THe music lyrics file which the site administrator uploads will be a .pdf file. When the user comes and clicks the pdf file, it should automatically print the pdf document. The users should not download the copy of pdf document. But in some cases the printer software is saving the pdf file. SO that the users are easily getting the copy of the pdf file. How do i prevent from downloading the copy. Or is any other method i can follow. Please help me on this.

Any comments or guidance will be appreciated

THanks & Regards
Babloo

I think you're out of luck, the pdf will have to be read via some sort of reader, probably a browser plugin - these apps have the capability of saving, and to print it has to save the file locally.
