Copy protect PDF. No other WordPress plugin can securely protect PDF from all copy because they only use JavaScript and HTML. The difference with CopySafe plugins is that they provide an “interface” to use a more robust solution 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 on all OS including Windows, Mac, iOS and Android mobile.

CopySafe PDF provides the most secure copy 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.
