Specially
designed to copy protect PDF documents and eBooks, CopySafe PDF
Protection provides incomparable copy protection with the most
robust DRM to prevent sharing and unauthorized distribution.
Distribute
CopySafe PDF files for desktop reading by email, download and on disk
using DRM that enables total control over all aspects with immediate
effect on any changes made, even on PDF already downloaded and saved
to a user's computer or still out in the wild on disk. Or display on web pages using one of our
CMS plugins for DNN, Drupal, Joomla, Moodle or WordPress.
While CopySafe PDF requires a Windows computer (Mac can run Windows
via Parallels) it does provide the most robust and most secure PDF
protection which is why it is the PDF security software chosen by
professionals where livelihoods and data security matter. Unlike
most other PDF protect solutions, CopySafe DRM and password
protection cannot be removed!
CopySafe PDF software provides 3 different output types:
Your PDF documents can be copy protected for easy distribution with optional DRM to prevent sharing and unauthorized distribution.
CopySafe PDF protection uses military strength encryption to prevent data extraction, ensuring that your document's contents will only be available to who you
expressly allow. Password requirements and expiration can be set on documents for
general distribution, or if more specific access control is needed, DRM can be
enabled to ensure that only those users with your specific permissions can open
the document.
When DRM is applied user access is validated by the user's unique computer
signature which cannot be shared on other computers. In other words, even if a
user sends a copy of your protected PDF to 1,000 friends, none of them will be
able to open the PDF unless they also have your explicit permissions. Those
permissions are managed from your DRM portal and they can be varied or suspended
at any time with immediate effect over any changes made, even to PDF already
downloaded and saved to a user's computer or still out in the wild on disk.
Almost anyone who needs data protection that cannot be exploited in any way. Sure, it may be conceivable to use weak protection on ebooks that are sold cheaply, but
expensive online courses, corporate data and other intellectual property that may be mission critical,
needs to be properly protected to protect the livelihood of their owners and
authors. Copy protection for PDF and ebooks cannot be more secure than with CopySafe PDF.
While password protection is considered to be DRM, it does not prevent users from sharing their password with a copy of the file. There are many solutions offering password protection but most do not prevent extraction of
the password from the document as a search for the means to hack PDF passwords will show.
But real DRM, like what is used by CopySafe software, cannot be exploited in nay
way and it cannot be shared because each subscriber is identified by their
unique computer ID which cannot be faked or duplicated.
The CopySafe PDF Protector desktop GUI is easy to use. Simply nominate distribution type, for example for desktop viewing with or without DRM, or for online viewing from your web site, and the GUI will walk you through the steps as you nominate
your desired copy protection and print control settings and project folder.
Unmanaged distribution means copy protected but without DRM, while the DRM option can prevent unauthorized distribution and sharing by locking the
PDF to the user's computer. For display on web site means that the PDF will be encrypted and domain
locked to your web site, and thus cannot be opened or displayed anywhere else.

While most authors prefer to distribute protected PDF for desktop viewing with DRM applied, some do insist on keeping their users on their web site by displaying their protected PDF on their web pages. For that purpose we provide add-ons for most popular CMS such as DNN, Drupal, Joomla, Moodle, and WordPress that greatly simplify the task.
The image below shows what the CopySafe PDF Reader plugin looks like on a web page. Its look and
functionality is almost identical to the desktop version of the reader, except that it runs from a web page from a web browser.
When displayed on a be page you have the option of preventing printing or
allowing print.
With the desktop version of the CopySafe PDF Reader, when DRM is applied, you have more options at your disposal such as limiting the number of prints by count.
These free add-ons will enable you to upload and display copy
protected PDF on your web pages from your online page editor:

Unlike other services that charge an annual support fee, charge for software upgrades and charge for anything else they can think of or plagiarize, ArtistScope provides copy protection solutions to protect the livelihood of artists and authors for for life. Included for free in each purchase of CopySafe PDF is:
Each license includes free support and upgrades for life, the DRM Portal service for free without limitation, use of our online book cover design tool and the promotion/sales of ebooks without limitation in our online book store free of commission.
The licensing for the CopySafe PDF Protector
software is per computer (the one used to
encrypt your PDF). The order form will automatically calculate the
discount for multiple licenses. Although licensing is required, the software is
not required to upload and distribute PDF
from your DRM account.
Note:
That the CopySafe PDF Reader is free to redistribute to your users without any
limitations. It is only the encryption software (the CopySafe PDF Protector) that needs to be
licensed. Both the Protector and the Reader are supported on all 32-bit and 64-bit
computers from Windows XP to Windows 10.
While purchasing a software license provides all options and features, if you only need the DRM service, it can be rented per month or by hits to your documents.
Mind you, most ebook authors only use the
DRM service because our DRM prevents all
sharing and unauthorized use. From your DRM
account you can upload PDF for conversion by
the server side converter... no software is
needed. Also, it can be managed from any
computer or device, including mobile phones.
For a complete price list, see
DRM Service Rental
The rented service also includes use of our
online book cover design tool and the option
to sell your ebooks from our online book
store (commission free) with successful
sales automatically adding new subscribers
to your DRM Portal for management,
newsletters, statistics, etc.
