Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but if the download is just an order form and it's free, does it really need to be a product? Can't it just be a stand-alone PDF file with a download link?
The PDF needs to have a link that cannot be shared. With the current configuration, an approved customer can share the link they access with anyone, and that could even lead to it being picked up by the search engines. I had suggested to the store owner that it just be made a downloadable product, but he felt that would create more issues. Miva Support had sent me something from "Claude," but that blew up. I have the code that would display the link to only logged-in approved customers, but currently the file resides in a publicly accessible web directory. "Claude's" code was an attempt to do this:
Logged-out customers hitting this URL get bounced to the login screen. Logged-in customers get the PDF streamed directly to them.

Is it possible to have an instant on-page product purchase? The product would be a free digital product but needs to be limited to one per customer. The customer would already be logged in; a shipping address would not be needed since it would be a digital download. Adding it to another product won't work for this, as these will be PDF order forms for customers who prefer to place large orders with this method.
