In today’s digital world, controlling access to your sensitive documents is more important than ever. Unauthorized downloading, printing, or sharing of PDFs and other digital files can lead to serious security risks, intellectual property theft, and loss of control over your content. With VeryPDF DRM Protector, you can implement robust Print and Download Restrictions to safeguard your documents effectively.
What Is Print and Download Restriction?
Print and Download Restriction allows you to prevent unauthorized users from downloading or printing your PDFs and documents. This feature is a core part of digital rights management (DRM) systems and ensures that your confidential files remain secure, even after they have been shared.
By integrating digital rights management, you can:
- Control who can print or download your files
- Track who views, prints, or downloads your documents
- Revoke access at any time

Advanced PDF Restrictions
1. Restrict PDF Access
Prevent unauthorized access using DRM licensing, which removes the vulnerabilities of traditional passwords and certificates. Even if a PDF is copied or emailed, only users with valid access keys can open it.
2. Restrict PDF Sharing
Lock PDFs to specific devices or users, ensuring that copies cannot be opened on unauthorized machines. This prevents distribution beyond your intended audience.
3. Restrict PDF Editing
Stop unauthorized editing, copying, and copy/paste operations. DRM allows flexibility to permit annotations and form filling while preventing content modifications.
4. Restrict PDF Printing
Disable or limit printing to prevent physical copies from being distributed. For allowed prints, you can apply dynamic watermarks showing the user’s identity to discourage unauthorized use.
5. Restrict Copying & Screen Grabbing
Prevent content theft via copy-paste or high-quality screenshots. Combine DRM with watermarking to discourage photography of sensitive screens.
6. Restrict PDF Downloading
Simple JavaScript or browser-based download restrictions are ineffective. DRM ensures that even downloaded PDFs cannot be opened by unauthorized users.
7. Restrict Email Distribution
Lock documents to authorized devices so that emailing or cloud uploads cannot bypass protection.
8. Restrict Online Use
Control where PDFs can be accessed by restricting locations, IP ranges, or device types, providing added security for sensitive content.
9. Restrict PDF Saving
Prevent users from saving unprotected versions of your documents or converting PDFs into editable formats.
10. PDF Expiry
Set expiration dates for documents or restrict access after a certain number of opens or prints. Perfect for time-sensitive or regulated content.
11. Revoke PDF Access
Easily revoke access for individual users or documents, ensuring that former employees or unintended recipients cannot access files.
