Hi,
customer of mine wants to start selling small e-docs (PDFs) but of course, other than payments and reporting, main need is to ensure that if once customer has purchased a doc and shares it with others, it can’t be opened. Is this possible?
I’ve seen there’s a license parameter once you install even the free Premium Package add-on, would that fit the need?

Another need would be to avoid the copy of PDF content to then use it without authorization: can this also be achieved?

Thank you
fabrizio

Hello fabrizio,

Hope you are well. If i get properly your requirements are two,

1. After Purchase, your user will have one time access to download your document.
2. Do you want to watermark your PDF document for making ownership and labeled for your PDF?

Please kindly check and let me know.

Thank you and regards

Hello Nayeem,
sorry for delay but have been off for a while 😀

1. Might be something like that, yes. We normally let customers directly download PDF via a ‘Download’ button (it’s then a browser’s download), but if that was via a one time link to donwload document then it might anyhow fit client’s request in some way. Even if need would be after it has been downloaded, that is I download from one time access link but then send downloaded PDF to others (but maybe onetime access works differently…)
2. if this could help in preventing or reducing willing to share then yes! And meanwhile seen there’s PDF Stamper add-on which seems does right this with image or customer’s details or both, and also include options to prevent copy of content (other client’s request), its amends and others.

Thank you

As PDF is a document and any user can download once and share to others, you can use PDF stamper plugin that will stamp and make authorize for you, please kindly check, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wordpress-pdf-stamper-plugin/.

Thank you Nayeem for very useful support.
I’ll see with customer about the PDF Stamper add-on.

If you can, another small question: on the DOCS guides and on some other customer WP, I see the Download Limit parameter on the Package Settings, while on this customer I don’t, is it available for the Pro version only?
I am testing and of course using the free version still, while the other customer has the Pro version

Thank you
