Document Library Disable Download

Hi everyone,

What I need to do is permit users just read and print documents of a document library but under not circumstances download them or save them.

Is there any way in a document library to disable the download option. Is that enough to prevent them from saving the documents.

I can hide the toolbar but download is still available. I was thinking of implementing RMS to cope with that but I first want to know if that can be achieved within Sharepoint.

Thanks a lot,

    Once the document is opened in SharePoint (even just to read it) you loose control of what happens to it. Information Rights Management is the only way I know of to protect the documents to the level that you wish.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I suppose that implementing IRM will produce the desired result.

    I will try it and post the results.
