CopySafe PDF Protection : CMD For Win Servers

CopySafe PDF Protector - Command Line Version 3.0

 
The 3.0 series command-line version included in the CopySafe PDF Protector is very different from the previous version, which used a COM object. Upgrading from the previous version may require adjustment of scripts and/or DLL interfaces used for integration with your web pages.

What's new in this version?
  • Change from COM to EXE with support DLL for command-line operation
  • New Domain Lock feature for documents displayed using web browser plugins
  • Option to hide/show document name in reader header
Convert single files or batch convert files by the folder and save the newly encrypted PDFs to a designated folder. The in/out folders can be set by the parameters that you pass in the command line. You can set the parameters at will when running from a command prompt or .bat file. On the other hand, documents can be uploaded to an incoming folder for batch conversion by setting up a scheduled task when running from a website. They can also be converted immediately by using the upload scripts provided in the DRM add-ons.

NOTE: This page is for version 3.0. The info for version 2.0 is here.

Note about licensing

If you are using the command-line COM object, to register it so that it doesn't apply and show a watermark, install and register the CopySafe PDF Protector software and license first. Both apps share the same license policy.

DRM Add-ons for use with CopySafe PDF Protector

CopySafe PDF Protector includes both a Windows GUI (executable) and a CMD binary that has been specially optimized for command-line operation. The CMD binary can be used via a DOS prompt or can be run from a .bat file. To increase the scope of its use, there are 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 solutions really are. Any similarities between the total control management of documents provided by ArtistScope DRM and the "claims" of others are mostly inspired and pioneered by ArtistScope DRM.

CopySafe PDF is ideal for the distribution of documents by download and on CD, but if your documents are to be viewed from your website, 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.
