Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, enhancement, P4)

Description

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1268830 +++

Implement PPB_PDF::SetContentRestriction() method.

Comment 1

[Evelyn Hung]

Sets content restriction for a full-page plugin (i.e. can't copy/print).

Comment 2

[Evelyn Hung]

This seems a more advanced feature, remove its dependency from bug 1268829.

Comment 3

[Evelyn Hung]

Al, could you find a sample that prohibits users from copy and print? and we need to know if this is already supported in pdf.js so we won't regress features. Thanks.

You are restricted from copying and pasting. Still, you can print this file.

You are restricted from copying, pasting, printing and saving this file.

Comment 7

[Al Tsai [:atsai]]

Also, pdf.js doesn't support restriction. I can copy content from all above files and print the files.

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] 🇵🇱 - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX per:

"The Mortar experiment has concluded. Mozilla does not consider the PDF use case justifies the burden of implementing and maintaining PDFium and a Pepper API implementation in Gecko."
