What is Partial Page View in VeryPDF Screen Shield?
Partial Page View is a patented feature of VeryPDF Screen Shield that limits the visible area of your PDF. Instead of showing the entire page, recipients see only a portion at a time, making unauthorized screenshots and copying much more difficult.
Key Features of Partial Page View:
- Configurable Partial View – Show 20%, 35%, or 50% of a page at a time.
- Moveable View Filter – Users can only view the selected portion of the document.
- Automatic Screenshot Protection – Content blurs or hides when a screenshot or screen capture is attempted.
- Disabled Zoom Controls – Prevents zooming to bypass partial view restrictions.
- Dynamic Watermarked Area – Shows recipient identifiers like email, IP, and timestamp directly on the visible portion.
Why Use Partial Page View to Protect PDFs?
Even with traditional DRM, full-page screenshots can still leak sensitive information. By showing only part of each page, VeryPDF Screen Shield:
- Reduces the risk of content leaks.
- Increases the effort required to reconstruct the full document.
- Makes unauthorized sharing less appealing.
Partial Page View is ideal for highly confidential documents, including:
- Intellectual property and research materials
- Financial performance reports
- Exam papers and answer keys
How Partial Page View Works in VeryPDF Screen Shield
- Recipients only see a restricted portion of the PDF page (20%, 35%, or 50%).
- Screenshot attempts automatically blur or hide content.
- Switching tabs or minimizing the window triggers content hiding.
- Zooming is disabled to prevent bypassing restrictions.
- Dynamic watermarks display recipient details on the visible area, discouraging leaks.
Combine Partial Page View with Dynamic Watermarks for Maximum PDF Security
Partial Page View works best with Dynamic Watermarks, overlaying:
- Recipient email
- IP address
- Date and time of access
This combination ensures that even if someone tries to capture a partial page, the content is traceable and leaks are discouraged.
