Hello guys,
My friend has a private ebook that he would like protecting so he can sell it.
Its a PDF file, im wondering what good protection is out there to stop reselling.

You can't really protect an eBook. They could just take screenshots of it or reverse it to images. You can include a hidden signature to know which people leak the .pdf though. (Stegnography, Etc...)

I understand that, but anything to just stop them dragging and printing on a browser?

 The fact that they can see the pages means you can't protect them. The only way you could prevent them leaking it is to make it non beneficial to them. Like a saturate-able method that becomes useless when overshared.
