Disabling PDF download

[Coco Gregg]

Hi there, 

We've uploaded some of our policies to a space within our Confluence instance. They are linked as PDFs (I uploaded them) when you click the linked headline the PDF pops up so you can view/read. You unfortunately also have the option to download the PDF. Is there a way to turn this off? or a workaround? 

Thanks!

Hi Manisha,

Thanks for your response - you are correct, I just disabled PDF export but it looks like users are still able to download. Any suggestions?
