Copy Protect PDF Module for DNN
This
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.
