Indeed, what will prevent someon using 'curl', 'wget' or a custom-written Python script to get a copy of the PDF on disk, using the tool's options to send appropriate headers to say that it is Firefox or Edge or the like? Such tools don't include Javascript, so there is no way for the server to (attempt to) disable anything. HTTP simply does not give control of what the client may do with a resource, once it has been delivered. It could not, because the client cannot be trusted. The server is limited to choosing whether to provide the resource, or not. -- Mark H. Wood Lead Technology Analyst University Library Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis 755 W.
