Password Protect PDF with Cross Service Solutions integration

A WordPress plugin to protect PDF files by applying passwords using the service of XSS (Cross Service Solutions) Pte Ltd

ArtistScope

<p>Copy protect PDF. No other WordPress plugin can securely protect PDF from all copy because they only use JavaScript and HTML. The difference with CopySafe plugins is that they provide an “interface” to use a more robust solution that can interact at system level which is where copy needs to be actioned.</p>
<p>This plugin enables the use of copy protected PDF documents in WordPress posts and pages. The resulting embedded PDF object is supported in the ArtisBrowser on all OS including Windows, Mac, iOS and Android mobile.</p>
<p>CopySafe PDF provides the most secure copy protection for PDF both online and offline. This plugin displays PDF created for use online and when domain lock is applied, the PDF file cannot be displayed from anywhere else. With PDF now bound to your web site, you are free to apply DRM rules to control access to the page via your CMS member controls. The ArtisBrowser reports the user’s unique computer signature so that you can convert WordPress into a fully fledged DRM Portal by adding a new field to your member’s table and some script to compare current ID with the one already assigned.</p>
<ul>
<li>Best copy protection – safe from all save and copy exploits.</li>
<li>Prevents PrintScreen and all screen capture/recording software.</li>
<li>Works best with the WP Classic Editor.</li>
<li>Also supported in Gutenberg and Elementor editors.</li>
<li>Insert copy protected PDF into posts and pages using the [PDF] button.</li>
<li>Upload and embed encrypted PDF with Domain Lock.</li>
<li>Set allowed operating system (OS) and minimum version.</li>
<li>Redirects non-conforming users to download the ArtisBrowser.</li>
<li>Settings to control width and height of the browser reader area.</li>
<li>Auto rescales to fit available space – when browser resized.</li>
<li>Domain locked PDF cannot be saved and displayed away from your website.</li>

CopySafe PDF Protection – Copy Protect PDF

@expensive brick
What a pointless review if not to defame a free service that is provided for users of Copysafe PDF. Yes, this WordPress plugin is provided for free, and yes you need the Copysafe PDF software to take advantage of proper protection. Otherwise you will find that this plugin works perfectly and that you can upload PDF created from the demo version of their software. All you need to do is learn to read and follow the instructions.
Re expense, have a look around and see if you can find a comparable PDF protection solution for less than 10 times the price of this one.
