How to Prevent Clients from Printing Your PDF Drafts

The "Print and Ghost" Problem

You send a draft for a restaurant menu or a brochure. The client says "let me think about it." They print your draft, decide it's "good enough," and never hire you for the final polish.

Browser-Based Protection

SecureViewPDF's viewer uses a custom rendering engine (based on Canvas) that makes printing notoriously difficult. While a determined user could screenshot every page and print those images, the quality would be terrible.

By preventing the native "Ctrl+P" dialog and removing the download option, you ensure that the only way to get a high-quality print file is to pay the invoice and receive the source file.
