CopySafe PDF Protection

Copy protect PDF. No other WordPress plugin can securley protect PDF from all copy because they are JavaScript and HTML only. The difference with CopySafe plugins is that they provide the means to use more robust solutions that can interact at system level which is where copy needs to be actioned.

This plugin enables the use of copy protected PDF documents in WordPress posts and pages. The resulting embedded PDF object is supported in the ArtisBrowser and others that still support NPAPI plugins.

CopySafe PDF provides the most secure protection for PDF both online and offline. This plugin displays PDF created for use online and when domain lock is applied, the PDF file cannot be displayed from anywhere else. With PDF now bound to your web site, you are free to apply DRM rules to control access to the page via your CMS member controls. The ArtisBrowser reports the user’s unique computer signature so that you can convert WordPress into a fully fledged DRM Portal by adding a new field to your member’s table and some script to compare current ID with the one already assigned.

• Easy install (requires WP Classic Editor).
• Insert protected PDF into posts and pages using the [PDF] media button.

Implementation

Click on the [PDF] media button above a post to upload and embed CopySafe PDF documents in your current post or page. When inserting a protected PDF object, the necessary shortcode is automatically inserted into the post editor.

You can upload new PDF class documents or select from a list of already uploaded documents. After selecting a document you can then set the security options to apply to the page such as:

• Disable protection from PrintScreen and screen capture.
• Disable the option to view from computers using remote or virtual connections.
• Disable printing or set a print limit per session.**

** To extend print count beyond the current session, you need to implement some DRM rules and monitor prints per user/document.
