I have 8 PDFs that need to be protected to prevent sharing and downloading. Can you do this?

Thanks for responding. Someone I had been working with prior was able to create a link that I share. It didn't require a PW or to unzip it. It merely opened in Adobe & the person receiving the link was not able to download or share. So Read only mode.

Did you check out the info on the link that was recommended? Which option sounds best for you?

It is hard for me to decide because I don't know the lingo of the acronyms.

The solutions that are supported across all OS, including mobile phones, are for online reading... reading from a web page. Do you have you a website and does it use Wordpress?

I have a website for WIX.

Unfortunately WIX doesn't allow any customization of their templates so it will not be suitable for anything more than displaying basic web pages.

A CMS like WordPress would give you the flexibility to add custom features and we do provide a variety of copy protect plugins for WordPress.

But it doesn't end there, because you can use a standalone solution like Guest Media where you can publish PDF on pages and then send users the links to those pages. You don't even need a website to use Guest Video.. you can even operate from Facebook.

Guest Video provides options of using copy protection with/without DRM which will then require DRM tokens that you can issue after a sale. See https://guest.video
