How can I upload a PDF document in CANVAS if I DO NOT want my students to have download rights?
Thx!
Hi @SandraSamper,
I'm not aware of a way to do this built into Canvas (or most other online systems to be honest). The way the web works in general if that if you're giving view rights, you're almost always giving download rights (as the web browser downloads things in the background to make them viewable). There are some scenarios where this is not the case, usually around video files, though sometimes PDF or other content as well, but there is nothing like that as far as I'm aware in Canvas.
I apologize, as this probably is not the answer you were hoping to get, but I hope it helps you to at least have this answer for now.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
