🛡️ Security Features

When download protection is enabled:

• ❌ Download button — Hidden from toolbar
• ❌ Right-click — Context menu disabled on PDF viewer
• ❌ Ctrl+S — Save shortcut blocked
• ❌ Ctrl+P — Print shortcut blocked (when print is hidden)

Note: This provides a strong deterrent but cannot guarantee 100% protection, as determined users may still find ways to capture content through browser developer tools or screen capture.
