I'm in the middle of doing some tests for an application that will print out
teacher certificates.  We are looking at creating PDF files on the fly, but
our requirements are not as tough as the ones below.

How are you going to stop people from scanning in the document once printed
and then manipulating it? If you can't stop that then maybe the concepts
behind the goals might be questionable.

Subject: [javascript] Download and print images w/o letting the user
modify?


On a client's Web site, I need to have end user print out images (i.e. 
large image of a certificate created on the fly). I need to follow the 
parameters (below) because they are required by both the client and 
governing body. I've already come up with a solution involving a Java 
applet, but are trying to explore other options. Any suggestions?

Parameters
1. Users should not be able to intercept and/or manipulate image via right-
click or File> Save As.

2. Users should not be able to capture 'Print Screen'  (to use in image 
editor).

3. Image should not be able to be retrieved from Temporary Internet Files 
Folders or, if located in folders, should be in form unrecognizable to end 
user . 

4. Must be cross platform/cross browser (Windows IE/NN and Mac IE/NN 
including older versions).

Thanks in advance.
