Zope does not have a mechanism for this, as one HTTP request looks like
any other. However I think that it might be possible to 'hijack' the
right click using some javascript on the page. You'll have to
investigate that yourself elswhere, though.

I'm going to guess that you're 'framing' the PDF with advertising in
some way, and don't want to lose the advertising revenue? A more user
friendly approach would be to include a low key sponsorship within the
PDF itself.

HTH,
