I have a user uploading a PDF to my server, is it possible to adjust the PDF restrictions via PHP to not allow printing, copying, etc?
Many thanks.

Alternatively you could adjust the permissions of the PDF after upload:
However this will mean users cannot read the file, which i don’t believe is the desired effect your after.
