Embedding PDFs without letting students download them

Hi Everyone, Is there any way to embed or trigger PDfs without letting students download them.

    Hi Richa, the easiest way I can think of  (bar adding it as a web object, which is a tad more involved) is to put it on a slide in a scroll bar so the whole pdf, I assume it is longer than a slide, can be seen (scrolled through) but not easily downloaded (note: there are myriad ways to download just about everything from the internet even if not an option).

    Or a more laborious method (but less easy to download as one object is to input the pdf as text in a table and add that into a scroll bar.  There is a new ELH challenge that may give you some ideas on scrollbars if you decide to go that route.
