could you explain a bit more, I thought the whole point of scribd was that you could download and print

Hi, I think we can only read online if we are not a member and only can download if you have access/membership. My requirement is members can only read online without downloading the documents.

Anything that can be read online can be captured/saved. So disabling a hyperlink to download will have no effect if a non-member really wants to get the document.

Hi, Thanks for your update and capturing online screen will never produce the original document as we can keep the window size so no one will be able to take full page. Hope you got my point. tks

Unfortunately that is not quite true, I have a few lines of C# code that will fetch a webpage and save it as an image, this bypasses the browser windows page size limit as it just fetches the raw page and saves it to an image so you get the whole lot. I use it for screen grabbing web pages that would normally scroll

If you want to truly protect something from being "stolen" then don't put it online!
