Copy Protect PDF Module for DNN

DNN moduleThis module enables websites using DNN to upload, display and create web pages that display copy protected PDF documents created by the CopySafe PDF software. Without this module adding HTML to activate a browser plugin would be an arduous task, even for experienced web developers. But that task has been greatly simplified.

Simply upload the protected PDF file that was created by the CopySafe PDF Protector software, nominate the protection settings to use, then the DNN editor will place the generated shortcode at the cursor position. Your protection settings can be modified at any time by simply editing the shortcode in HTML view.

  • Copy protect eBooks and PDF documents displayed online.
  • Safe from PrintScreen and all screen capture software.
  • Documents cannot be retrieved from browser cache.
  • Domain-locked documents cannot be displayed elsewhere.
  • Documents stored on the server are safe from webmasters.
  • Encrypted documents cannot be saved or scraped.

How this DNN Module Works


When editing a page or post, you may insert the short code by clicking on the [PDF] icon above the HTML editor toolbar where the cursor was last placed in the text area. After uploading or selecting an existing PDF class file (from a previous upload), you can then nominate the security settings to use for the page or post. Different pages can use different security and display settings:

 Width  Width in pixels of the PDF viewing area
 Height   Height in pixels of the PDF viewing area
 Print Count   Enable printing and/or limit number of prints 
 Print Anywhere   Restrict printing to virtual or hard-wired printers 
 Allow Capture  Enable protection from PrintScreen and capture
 Allow Remote  Prevent computers using remote or virtual access
 Language   Set the language used in toolbar messages
 Background   Set color in the unused area of viewer window 

CopySafe PDF Licensing


The CopySafe PDF Protector enables the encryption of PDF documents for desktop reading and distribution by email, download and disk with copy protection options and the ability to assign DRM control. It can also convert protected PDF for display online, from a web page, using the web browser DLL included with the ArtisBrowser.

Every CopySafe PDF Protector license provides for unlimited use and includes free DRM hosting to manage subscribers. But it does not include licensing for online display using Domain Lock. If the Protector is unlicensed documents distributed for local viewing will include a watermark and documents displayed online with a Domain Lock will not be secure. ArtistScope polices the use of domain lock in CopySafe PDF by requiring the registration of each site (fee applies).

CopySafe PDF Plugin Detection


When CopySafe PDF is used on a web page, if a visitor does not have the browser DLL and ArtisBrowser installed, they are redirected for download and install instructions. This DNN module includes everything needed for this task including download and error pages.
