In today’s digital world, protecting sensitive content like eBooks, reports, or any proprietary documents is crucial. Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection offers an effective solution to safeguard these documents from unauthorized access, copying, or distribution. However, many customers often have questions about how DRM works, particularly in terms of how it can be scaled and integrated into various business models. In this article, we’ll answer some common questions about DRM protection, how it works in practical scenarios, and how our solution can help protect your PDF files.

1. Does This Mean That For Each Customer, A New PDF File Should Be Created and Protected with You? But This Becomes Impossible with Many Customers?
When dealing with multiple customers, creating a new DRM-protected PDF for each one can seem like a daunting and impractical task. After all, if your customer base is large, the idea of manually generating a unique DRM-protected file for every customer would not only be time-consuming but could also quickly become impossible to manage efficiently.
However, you don’t have to worry about creating a new protected file for each customer. Our DRM Protector Application is designed to simplify this process, even for large volumes of customers. Instead of generating a new file for every customer, we can store a single copy of the DRM-protected PDF on our secure servers. Each customer’s access is controlled by a unique set of DRM policies and access rights, which are stored in our database.
This approach means that you only need to protect the PDF once, and the system will handle the unique access controls for each customer. These controls include:
-
Expiration dates: You can set specific times or dates after which the customer can no longer access the file.
-
Permissions: You can control whether customers can print, copy, or share the document.
-
Access Rights: You can assign different policies to different customers, such as allowing one customer to have read-only access, while giving another the ability to annotate or highlight text.
This solution not only saves you time but also ensures that your content remains secure and that every customer’s access is properly managed according to your chosen DRM settings.
If you’re interested in this custom solution, we can offer tailored services that meet your specific needs. There will be a development fee for deploying a custom version of the DRM solution to meet your requirements.

2. Same Question to 1. Above: There Should Be a New Password for Each New Client After Payment and They Receive the DRM Protected File or an Online Link to It. Will You Do This? What Will Happen When My Client Reads a Little of the Book, Then Turns Off His Device and After Some Time Wants to Continue Reading? He Does Not Have to Pay for Each Login to Read.
We understand your concern about offering a seamless experience for customers who have purchased your eBook. After a customer has purchased the book, they will receive a unique access link to the DRM-protected file. This allows them to access the content without having to go through a payment process every time they log in. Here’s how it works:
-
Purchase: The customer purchases the eBook online.
-
Access: After payment, they receive a personalized URL to access the DRM-protected PDF file.
-
Reading: The customer can open the link and start reading the document. If they close the file or turn off their device, they can return to the same link without paying again.
Importantly, the customer’s access to the file will not expire unless specific conditions in the DRM policy are met, such as:
-
Access expiration: You can set a date or time period after which the file will no longer be accessible.
-
Number of views: You can specify how many times the file can be opened or viewed by the customer.
-
Device restrictions: Some DRM systems allow you to control how many devices can access the file.
If the customer returns later, they can continue reading without having to make a new payment or access a different version of the file. This system provides convenience for your customers while maintaining full control over how and when they can access the content. If their access expires or reaches the maximum number of views, they would need to make a new payment to gain access again.
3. How Is the Security of My Book File When It Is Uploaded to Your Server? Guarantee That the Content in It Will Not Be Used by Someone Else?
One of the biggest concerns when uploading any document to a server is its security. As a content owner, you want to make sure that no one can misuse, redistribute, or access your content without authorization. We take the security of your file very seriously and use multiple layers of protection to ensure your book or document is safe.
Here’s how we guarantee the security of your content:
Encryption
All DRM-protected PDF files are encrypted using industry-standard algorithms. This means that even if someone gains unauthorized access to your file, they will not be able to view or manipulate its content without the correct access permissions. Additionally, DRM-related passwords are stored using the MD5 encryption algorithm, which provides a secure method of storing access credentials.
Access Control
Only authorized users who meet the DRM policy requirements can access your protected PDF files. For instance, if your DRM settings restrict the file to a particular set of devices, regions, or IP addresses, only users meeting those criteria can open and view the file. Even if someone somehow gains access to the file, they will be unable to bypass the DRM protection or remove the encryption.
Confidentiality Assurance
We understand that your content is valuable and confidential. Therefore, we do not use, share, or distribute the original content of your file. Only the DRM-protected version is accessible, ensuring that your intellectual property is not compromised. The original document remains secure on our servers and cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties.
Furthermore, our servers are equipped with strong security measures to prevent data breaches and unauthorized access. We also follow best practices in terms of server and data management to ensure your content is always protected.
