Disable "Copy Text" in PDF Viewer

[Arthur Butler]

Is it possible to disable the ability for the end-user to copy text from the PDF document.  My requirement is that the user can highlight, annotate, etc., but the use should not be able to copy text from the document.

Thanks,

Arthur

Hi Arthur, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

Currently we do not have support to Disable only the Copy option in our PDF Viewer. We can restrict the copying of the Text from PDF Viewer by setting the enableTextSelection to false, but we cannot highlight the text, so we will analyze further to disable the Copy option only and update you with more details on April 8^th, 2020
