Hi @Surojit_Bera,

Can you explain your use case a little more and what you’re trying to accomplish with adding re-captcha to the downloads? Typically, we only see re-captcha used for logins, so I’d be curious to see what you’re thinking.

If your journal is an Open Access journal, adding a re-captcha to downloads is not in the sense of Open Access.
If you want to block WebBots from downloading the PDFs, there are other means such as creating a bots configuration file that can be included in the Apache configuration or robots.txt .
