Google recently made it possible to restrict the download of non-Google editor file types in Google Docs. This restriction can be applied to .ppt, .pdf, video, and image files for example.

The restrict download feature for Google docs has bran released for Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education editions and it is available in all languages supported by Google Docs

To access what’s new just select the file that you want to restrict, select the ‘More’ menu and choose the new option. Alternatively, right-click a document in the docslist and select ‘prevent viewers from downloading’ from the menu options.
