CopySafe PDF Protector - Command Line
|
|
| The
COM command-line version is now included in the CopySafe PDF
Protector, which can be operated from
command line or by interfacing with a web service via a
DLL,
enabling CopySafe PDF Protector to run server-side for
documents uploaded remotely. |
CopySafe PDF command line will convert single files or batch convert files by the folder and save the newly encrypted PDFs to another folder. The folders used for the in/out folders can be set by parameters that you pass in the command line.
When running the command line from a command prompt or .bat file you can set the parameters at will. When running from a web site, documents can be uploaded to an incoming folder for batch conversion by setting a Scheduled task. Or they can be converted on the fly by using the upload scripts provided
in the DRM add-ons.
When using a member login, their UserID can be passed so that new a folder is created within the outgoing folder.

DRM Add-ons for use with CopySafe PDF Protector
CopySafe PDF Protector includes both a Windows GUI (executable) and a COM object
which has been specially optimized for command-line operation. The COM object
can be used via a DOS prompt or run from a .bat file. However to increase the
scope of its use there are now additional add-ons to enable you to use the
Protector online, running server side and controllable from your web pages.
Webmaster's Note:
CopySafe PDF is by far more secure than all other eBook and PDF document
protection solutions because it was designed to be so. Performing a web
search on "extract password from PDF" or "remove DRM from eBooks"
can provide an insight to how
useless most document protection really is. Any similarity
between the total control management of documents provided by ArtistScope DRM
and the "claims" of other document solutions is
not a coincidence.
CopySafe PDF is ideal for the distribution of documents
by download and on CD, but if your documents are to be
viewed from your web site, then you should check
out the ASPS Web Reader which is specially designed for copy protecting web content
instead of exposing it like other web browsers do. ASPS
provides the most secure copy protection for all web
page content including PDF, Flash and video. |
