A few of our departments have been using the "block download" option for sharing confidential files. When they share Word, Excel or PowerPoint files, it works great. However, when they share PDFs, the viewers are sometimes able to download or print them. It seems that in many cases the recipient/viewer's browser is configured to open PDFs in a specific app (e.g.: Safari on Macs uses Preview; Chrome has its own integrated PDF viewer), and those apps don't respect the "block download" function.
The only time I've seen it work properly is when the recipient/viewer is using MS Edge.
Does anyone know if it's possible to make this work regardless of which browser the recipient is using?
