How to prevent PDF files from being forwarded

The format of the PDF file is a format for protecting the document. The file in this format can be difficult to modify, easy to read, and maintain the same display format on any device, so there is no need to worry that different screen resolutions will cause differences in readers' reading. . Many people have been looking for how to edit or modify PDF files, and there will be a market if there is demand. Now there are many PDF editing software on the market or on the Internet, which can edit and modify the content in PDF files. Even if the PDF file is password protected, most of us can still easily regenerate a new PDF file with no protection restrictions by virtually printing in the browser. Of course, sometimes we don't worry about whether the PDF is edited or not. We hope that the PDF file will be freely forwarded and published on various sharing platforms at will.

Now MaiPDF's PDF cloud sharing can help solve these problems! MaiPDF has two tools that can be used to set these DRM parameters. Let’s first introduce MaiPDF online sharing, so that the tool can easily and quickly upload a certain PDF file without the user registering or logging in. After the upload is successful, the user can set the total number of times the file is opened according to his needs. , the length of time you can read after each opening, and whether you need to read a reminder. If you need to know whether the file has been opened at the first time, you can also add a mailbox, and then as long as someone opens the file link, the user will receive it. In an email, what file was opened by what device at what time. After selecting secure sharing, the PDF will generate a web link, and under this link, the PDF will be protected, and readers cannot print or download the PDF on this web page, nor can they copy the text in the PDF, and even the screenshots will be changed. very difficult.

Of course, there is another situation. After the file is sent, the user wants to modify the content in the PDF file. I believe every designer has encountered this situation. Designers usually carefully prepare their portfolios to show to others. , but as soon as they send the file, they will immediately remember that a certain detail needs to be modified, and a certain page needs to add some content. If the modification function of MaiPDF is used, these can be realized simply and quickly.
