PDF Blue Security is a powerful PDF DRM solution that helps schools, publishers, course creators, businesses, and institutions protect their PDF files. Control viewing, printing, device access, IP restrictions, hidden pages, and virtual printers, maintaining full control over your documents long after they have been delivered to the recipient.
Protect any PDF right in your browser and share it as a link. Your reader does not need to install any program or create an account: on Windows 10 or 11 with an internet connection, they double-click the file and it opens. Meanwhile you control how many times it can be viewed or printed, on how many Windows PCs, block virtual printers and most screen-capture apps, and revoke access at any time.
Upload your PDF in the online Control and set your rules, views, prints, devices, expiration and watermark.
You get a single protected file. Share it as a link from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or WeTransfer, not as an email attachment. There are no accounts for your readers to create.
Your reader double-clicks the file on Windows 10 or 11 and it opens, nothing to install.
With PDF Blue, you decide who can open the file, how many times it can be viewed or printed, on how many machines, and from which IP addresses. You can hide pages, expire users and documents, block virtual printers, block printing to PDF, and unlock pages later when you're ready.
Create users with their own credentials, dynamic watermarks, and expiration dates. Revoke access in seconds, even after the file is delivered.
Limit views, limit prints, limit how many Windows PCs can open the document. Block "Print to PDF" and virtual printers.
Restrict reading to specific IP ranges. Useful for in-classroom material, corporate documents, or VPN-only access.
Stamp each opened PDF with the reader's name, IP address, device ID, date and time, a tracking code or your own text. Discourage sharing and trace leaks.
Hide specific pages from your readers. Unlock them later, automatically or with a click, perfect for staged content release.
Protect PDFs, manage users, design watermarks and read access logs from any browser. Nothing to install, on your side or your readers'.
You share one protected file. Your readers double-click it and read on Windows 10 or 11 with an internet connection, with the same rules and watermarks and nothing to install.
See every open, every print, every device activation. Know who opened what, when, and from which IP, for compliance, support, and tracing any leak back to its source.
Set an expiration date on any user or any individual file. After the date, the PDF stops working everywhere, automatically, with no need to revoke access by hand.
Create users with their own limits, view, print, devices, expiration, and design a dynamic watermark with their data. All in your browser, nothing to install.
Upload a PDF and set the rules. It is encrypted on our server and bound to those rules; your original is deleted right after and never stored.
You get one file to share as a link. Your readers just open it on Windows 10 or 11, nothing to install, and every rule and watermark you set is enforced in real time.
If you came here looking for any of the answers below, you're in the right place, PDF Blue Security was built exactly for these scenarios.
PDF Blue blocks text copy, image extraction and virtual printers (including "Microsoft Print to PDF") at the reader level. No password to crack, real DRM enforcement that travels with the file.
Each protected PDF can be bound to specific users, Windows PCs and IP addresses. With sign-in on, a leaked file won't open without the username and password you created, and a device limit caps how many PCs can open it. Device limits and screen-capture blocking stop casual sharing, but they are not a guarantee against a determined technical user. Add a dynamic watermark with the user's name and a tracking code, so a leaked screenshot or photo can usually be traced back to who opened it. Revoke access in seconds from your online Control.
Dynamic watermarks burn the reader's name, IP address, device ID, date and time and a tracking code into every page. Leaks become traceable, and the threat alone discourages most sharing attempts before they happen.
A complete DRM stack: encryption, per-user credentials, view and print limits, device locking, IP restrictions, expirations and watermarks. Enterprise document DRM often costs thousands of dollars per year. PDF Blue starts at US$29/month, with no sales call.
Set a per-user print limit (including zero), block virtual printers and "Print to PDF", and authorize physical printing only when you choose. Print attempts are logged.
Add an expiration date to any protected file or any user. After the date, the PDF stops working everywhere, perfect for time-limited course access, exam materials, internal drafts and confidential reports.
Choose your plan based on how many users and protected files you need. Upgrade or downgrade at any time. Cancel whenever you want.
