Subject: Document Protection for a Fundraising Guidebook
Every year, many non-profit organizations rely on the sale of digital guidebooks to raise funds for special events. These guidebooks often contain exclusive schedules, insider tips, maps, or curated content valuable to attendees. Unfortunately, once a PDF is sold and distributed, it can easily be shared with others for free—undermining fundraising efforts and reducing your organization’s ability to capture essential revenue.
This was exactly the concern of John, representing a not-for-profit group planning a November event. His organization planned to sell an 80-page PDF guidebook online and wanted a way to prevent people from buying a single copy and then sharing it freely.
Here’s the challenge he brought to us:
“We’re a not-for-profit and every penny counts so we really want to capture sales. This is a one-time thing. The document is about 80 pages in PDF format. I don’t want to get burdened by a bunch of folks trying to figure out how encryption works. We have folks that won’t deal with that very well. Do you have a solution that would help us?”
The Solution: VeryPDF DRM Protector
We recommended VeryPDF DRM Protector — a flexible, cloud-based solution designed specifically to protect PDF documents from unauthorized sharing. Whether you’re a nonprofit, educator, or small business owner, it allows you to sell digital documents confidently, knowing your content is secure and access is controlled.
✅ Key Benefits for Non-Profits and First-Time Users:
1. No Technical Skills Required
You don’t need to install or configure complicated software. Just upload your PDF to our web interface, set your desired permissions (e.g., no printing, no download, no screenshots), and generate a protected version in minutes.
2. Online Viewing – No Downloads Needed
Your customers can view their purchased PDF documents directly in their browser—no need for extra apps, plug-ins, or password juggling. This reduces technical support issues and makes the process frictionless for your audience.
3. Full Access Control
Restrict who can open your document by email address, IP address, or device. You can even set expiry dates (e.g., valid only during the event period) and revoke access remotely.
4. Built for One-Time Projects
Many DRM systems require ongoing subscriptions or licenses. With VeryPDF DRM Protector, you can secure a single document without committing to a long-term plan—making it ideal for event-specific or seasonal projects.
Why Document Protection Matters
Selling PDF files online without protection is like selling event tickets with no validation system—one person buys, ten people enter. In a digital format, a single unprotected file can be copied and redistributed endlessly.
DRM (Digital Rights Management) ensures that your documents are:
- Viewed only by paying customers
- Not downloaded or shared externally
- Used only within your defined rules
This not only preserves your income stream but also respects the value of your content.
