Detailed Explanation of Parameters for the VeryPDF DRM Protector Upload URL

The URL you’ve provided contains numerous parameters for configuring DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection on a PDF file. Each parameter serves a specific purpose related to securing and customizing the PDF’s access and usage. Below is a detailed explanation of each parameter:

1. InputFileType

  • Value: WebURL
  • Description: This specifies the type of input file. In this case, it’s a URL pointing to a remote PDF file. This parameter tells the system that the input PDF will be accessed via a URL instead of being uploaded directly.

2. WebFileURL

  • Value: http://online.verypdf.com/examples/cloud-api/verypdf2.pdf
  • Description: This is the URL of the PDF document that needs to be protected by DRM. The system will fetch this PDF for processing.

5. PasswordForInputPDFFile

  • Value: (empty)
