Download PDF Blue.

PDF Blue is two desktop apps for Windows. Administrators use PDF Blue Control to protect files and manage users. Final readers use PDF Blue Reader to open protected PDFs.

PDF Blue Control

For administrators. Create users, set their limits and watermarks, protect PDFs, manage your library and review access logs.

Download Control for Windows

Requires Windows 10 or newer.

PDF Blue Reader

For your final readers. The free app they install to open the protected PDFs you send them. Works with the rules you set in Control.

Download Reader for Windows

Free for your readers. Requires Windows 10 or newer.

How it fits together

Two apps, one secure workflow.

1. You install PDF Blue Control

You log in with your company name and the temporary password we sent by email after payment.

2. You create users and protect PDFs

Each protected file is bound to the limits you set: views, prints, machines, IPs, expiration, watermarks, hidden pages.

3. Your readers install PDF Blue Reader

You send them the Reader installer (free) and the protected PDF file. The Reader validates online every time it's opened.
