copy protection of pdf's/ebook etc

[johk]

Hi,

I have a client that sells technical literature that he has written. They are available as printed versions but also as pdf’s.
With the pdfs he is concerned about the copyright and users using the pdf and then copy/print the content.

Do any of you had any experience with how to best protect pdf from getting distributed?
Is the best way to create an app the user download and have to use to view the pdf?
Or is it better to sell them on Amazon in a ebook version/format? Can you add a “copy” protection on an ebook?

I thought I would ask the question here as there are a lot of publishrs here on the forum.
Any insight on how to “lock” a pdf (or any other publishing format) from being copied would be much appreciated.

Thanks
JH
