[Web4lib] Restrict the number of times a document is printed

[Isabelle Laplante]

Hello All!

We have a new "Act to amend the Copyright Act"  in Canada (June 20, 2005).
( URL =
http://www.parl.gc.ca/PDF/38/1/parlbus/chambus/house/bills/government/C-60_1.PDF 

)

As a Library, we have now to restrict the printing to "only one copy" of
digital form documents, that are sent [as Inter-library Loan] (Bill
C-60, page 17).

Do you have suggestions of ways of How to do that with PDF? Maybe Open
Source?

For now, I found only 2 softwares (via  http://www.planetpdf.com )

1) "PageRecall" from Authentica
http://www.authentica.com

2) "FileOpen"
(http://www.fileopen.com)


Thanks in advance!
