The only difference between Starter, Professional, Business and Master is the number of users and protected files. The capabilities below are included for every customer.
Each reader has their own credentials. Block, unblock, expire, or delete users instantly.
Cap how many times each file can be opened. After the limit, access is denied automatically.
Cap how many times each file can be printed by each user. Allow physical printing only when you choose.
Bind a protected file to a maximum number of machines. Reset the device list at any time.
Restrict reading to specific IPs or ranges — classroom, corporate VPN, or office only.
Set an expiration date for any user. Access automatically stops the next time they try to open a file.
Set an expiration date for any protected file. The PDF stops working everywhere after that date.
Pause access without deleting the user. Resume any time.
Pause a single protected file across all readers without affecting the rest of your library.
Detect and block "Microsoft Print to PDF", PDF printers, and other virtual printer drivers used to extract content.
Specifically prevent the most common Save-as-PDF route used to bypass copy protection.
Allow real physical printing per user only when you authorize it. Off by default.
Burn the reader's name, email, machine ID, IP and timestamp into every page. Customize position, size, opacity, rotation, color.
Use your logo or any image as a watermark instead of (or together with) text.
Hide specific pages from your readers — preview chapters, restrict supplementary material, stage content over time.
Open hidden pages selectively, per user or for everyone, when you're ready.
Create dozens or thousands of users at once from a spreadsheet. Set permissions, expirations and watermarks per row.
Bulk-update users from a spreadsheet — change limits, extend expirations, rotate access in seconds.
Open any user or file and tweak any single setting from the desktop app.
Apply the same change to many users or files in a single operation.
Every reader checks live with our server every time it opens a file. No offline bypass.
PDF Blue Control and Reader work in 7 languages. Each reader picks their language on first launch.
Self-service password reset for company administrators with secure single-use links.
Audit every view, print and machine activation. Track who opened what, when and from where.
