I have several pdf files I want to have on my website that should only be available to my customers.

Is there a way to password protect them from being downloaded by just anyone?

Is this on a public web site cos the easiest way, without any effort on your part that is ;) is to ask you ISP if they can create a password protected folder for you.

There are loads of techiques to do it yourself - do a search on "password protect your webpage" and you find software and examples or for "Javascript password protect" - an example here (http://www.ehow.com/how_6226_password-protect-web.html) though this is not very secure you can always view the source code for any web site (even if you use a "disable view source script").

If your willing to pay for software Coffee Cup (http://www.coffeecup.com/password-wizard/) makes good stuff, there is a 30 day trial :) or maybe this (http://www.mtopsoft.com/htmllock/index.htm) again with a free trial
