When attaching a resource to the resource player tab, is there a way to make the file "Read Only?"
I would like to have certain PDFs be available for reading purposes in the learner's browser, but don't necessarily want the learners to be able to download a soft copy of the resource. Is this possible?
Unfortunately that is not an option within Storyline. If you were directed to a PDF at a website and pointing to the url, you may be able to control it from the website.
I hope that if anyone else in the community has some other ideas, they're able to share them here.
With Adobe Acrobat (not the Reader, but the editing tool) you can set security options to prevent print, turn off tool bars with Save buttons, etc. Of course, a determined user could still take screenshots of your pdf content
I have long and a tiring process that may help you here. I did this as I had only 4 pages in my pdf file.
You may want to take the screen shots of your pdf or if you have Acrobat DC, save .pdf to .JPG.
Then, insert scroll bar on your storyline and add each picture one at a time. You will have to bear the pain to align it in a flow. However, once done you will be able to see it works.

Yes, cannot help with taking screen shots.
Thanks, Anuj for sharing that idea. An old discussion or not, it's always helpful to have those ideas shared here!
