PDF_Lock goes beyond the security limits of conventional PDF readers, providing a copyright-protection solution that is fast to package, reinforced at its core, and secure and reliable for enterprise documents, educational courseware, eBooks, and sensitive technical materials.
The generated EXE includes its own PDF rendering engine, so recipients do not need to install an additional reader. Combine fixed passwords, dynamic A/B passwords, and device-bound licensing to control the reading period, number of openings, printing, copying, and screenshots.
Key features
Kernel-Level Re-encryption
Based on in-memory decryption, it creates no physical temporary files at runtime and deeply obfuscates PDF data streams to reduce the risk of unauthorized extraction.
Dynamic Text-and-Image Watermarks
Supports both text and image watermarks, with adjustable opacity, size, and placement to deter physical leaks through photography or video recording.
Device-Bound Licensing
Supports offline machine-code binding, with licenses based on a usage period or number of openings, ensuring that documents run only on designated computers.
System-Level Screenshot Protection
Can block common system screenshot and screen-recording tools, while restricting printing and text copying to reduce the risk of unauthorized content distribution.
Online Content Updates
Supports online updates for distributed PDF content, so end users can receive the latest version promptly.
Custom Startup Screen
Configure the software logo, startup image, and copyright details to keep branding consistent and present required notices.
程序允许打开时长限制
程序打开后允许使用的时长,比如设置程序可以打开40分钟,那么40分钟时间到,程序将自动关闭,配合A、B密码模式,可有效管控PDF安全使用
支持纯打印模式
在纯打印模式下,浏览PDF文件的结构没有变,但是内容只显示页眉页脚,不显示真正内容,可以实现翻页等等功能。可以打印,打印会正常打印出全部内容,而且只能打印到物理打印机上,不能打印到虚拟打印机上。从而保证不能再复制一份PDF!
