How to Chain the PDF to the User's Machine?

Digital Rights Management (DRM) tools give you fine-grained control over how and when the reader can use your document. Typically, a reader downloads the full PDF, but he can't read it until he purchases a key. After he makes the purchase, a key is created that can open that PDF only on that computer. Some readers find this model too restricting.

DRM software vendors include Adobe (PDF Merchant), FileOpen Systems, Authentica, and SoftSeal. Their tools tend to be too expensive for the casual user. Consider partnering with a distributor or a self-publishing service

Hi,

The content-distribution category encompasses functions generally supplied by sophisticated solutions and involves such tasks as format alteration and digital rights management. Now many software companies are interested to use digital rights management technology plus advanced watermarking solutions for a layered security approach that extends beyond the digital delivery. Thanks a lot.
