PDF Blue Security helps schools, publishers, course creators, companies and institutions protect PDF files. Control views, prints, machines, IP access, hidden pages and virtual printers — long after the file is in the reader's hands.
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, 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 machines can ever 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 user's name, email, machine ID or any custom field. Discourage sharing and trace leaks.
Hide specific pages from your readers. Unlock them later, automatically or with a click — perfect for staged content release.
Bulk-create and edit users with spreadsheets. Update files in batches. Manage thousands of readers without manual work.
Set their limits — view, print, machines, expiration. Define a dynamic watermark with their data. Import in bulk from a spreadsheet if you have a lot of them.
Drop your PDFs into Control. Each protected file is encrypted and bound to the rules you configured. Decide who can open which file.
Your reader opens the protected file in PDF Blue Reader. The reader checks online with our server — and respects every rule you set. Revoke or change anything at any time.
Choose your plan based on how many users and protected files you need. Upgrade or downgrade at any time. Cancel whenever you want.
