In today’s digital world, sending files is easy, but controlling them afterward is a challenge. Once a file leaves your system, traditional protections often fail. Recipients can copy, share, or forward your documents without restriction.
With Persistent Protection After Download (PPAD), also known as vpdf, you stay in control, wherever your files go. Track every view, manage access, and enforce restrictions even after the file is on someone else’s device.
Keep Control, Wherever Your File Goes
vpdf is the next generation of Digital Rights Management (DRM) developed by VeryPDF. Its patent-pending technology ensures your files remain protected after download, giving you full control over who sees them and how they are used.
Unlike traditional DRM or Virtual Data Rooms (VDRs), vpdf combines ease of use, flexibility, and persistent control in a single solution.
How Persistent Protection After Download Works
Step 1: Send Your File
Upload and share your sensitive content through VeryPDF DRM Protector’s secure platform. There’s no complicated setup—your files are ready for safe distribution in minutes.
Step 2: Recipient Downloads a vpdf File
Recipients receive a protected vpdf file that opens directly in their browser. No software installation is required—access is seamless and secure.
Step 3: You Stay in Control
Even after download, you can:
- Decide who can view the file
- Set how long access lasts
- Revoke access at any time
- Track every view and engagement
Your restrictions and protections remain active no matter where the file travels.
Convenience for Recipients, Control for You
vpdf provides a balance between user convenience and your control across various use cases:
Diligence: Investors can download an entire data room instantly, while you track engagement levels to gain insights into their interest.
Sales: Prospects open proposals directly in their browser, while you track page-by-page activity and tailor personalized follow-ups.
Publications: Subscribers keep files on their devices, while you monitor usage, detect unauthorized sharing, and encourage renewals or additional purchases.
Training: Learners access training materials even with low bandwidth, while you enforce expiry dates, usage limits, and monitor content consumption.
