Copy Protected PDF Now Viewed On Web Pages.
April 12, 2013 – A new version of
CopySafe PDF Protector software is
available for encrypting and copy protecting PDF for display on
web pages. This new release includes plugins for all popular
web browsers so that
CopySafe PDF documents can be read from web pages. The new web viewer
provides the same look, feel and functionality as the
desktop reader, but instead of being configurable per
document, the controls can now be set per page.
Both the reader and web plugins are included into the same
installer. When visitors load a CopySafe PDF web and they have not got the plugin installed, they will be
redirected for the download and installation of the reader.
While the copy protection provided by the web page reader is
the same as what the desktop reader provides, there are some
notable changes to the control available to the website
administrator. For example, with the CopySafe PDF Reader the
use of DRM is managed remotely from an author's DRM Control
Panel where one has total control of the settings and
restrictions to apply to all documents and subscribers. But
with the online display of CopySafe PDF that control is now in the hands of the web designer who can
vary access and document properties per user and page used
to display the document. In other words, when displaying CopySafe PDF from a web page, access control is not managed by a remote
server but rather, it can now be managed by the web page as
it loads.
Copy protected PDF for web display use a different file extension (.class) so that
you can tell which is which and to avoid anomalies that can arise on some web
servers that otherwise need to have their mime types updated before handling
uncommon file types.
Applying Domain Lock to PDF displayed from your web pages is most recommended
otherwise users can display them on other sites where they can change settings
to allow copy and capture. But with Domain Lock applied the PDF will not display
unless it finds itself on the website that it belongs to. To prevent misadventure
ArtistScope regulate the use of Domain Lock by providing special license files
for each website and each document can be locked to as many as 3 sites simultaneously.
License files for Domain Lock can be purchased online.
Upgrading from version 2
Removal of an earlier version of CopySafe PDF Protector is not necessary, in
fact it is best if you install the new version over the top so that it can use
the same license details and activation.
Add-on modules are now available to simplify the use of
CopySafe PDF with WordPress, Moodle, Joomla and DNN websites.
