More Robust PDF Security
The key to the integrity of the CopySafe PDF protection is the nature of its design. Not only are the most secure encryption techniques employed, but all components including the reader, the copy protector, the document file format and the access validation processes have been specially designed to leave nothing to exploit.

Superior PDF Protection
The CopySafe solution has provided the most secure copy protection since its introduction in 1998. To date,  no attempt to imitate it has even come close to matching its complete control over all copy and save techniques including Print Screen and screen capture. Other apps claiming to be capable of preventing capture can only ever be an embarrassment because they are not preventing capture at all. Instead, they are trying to prevent a named application from running and all it takes is a new name, and anyone can change the name of an executable.

Protect documents by setting a password (password protection)
Perhaps the most popular document protection technique is password protection. Trafficking in password-protected documents requires trust in the recipient to not redistribute them. This kind of protection will only be effective if the password is not compromised and this can be useful in curbing unauthorized use. Today, there are many applications available on the Internet for extracting passwords from documents. However, they are useless against CopySafe PDF documents.

Protect documents by setting an expiry date (expiry protection)
Another popular document protection technique is to set an expiry date, after which the document cannot be opened. A simple method of exploiting this technique is by turning back the computer's clock, and as most document expiration is based on local time (the user's computer clock) a better technique is by using an independent time check such as an online time server. CopySafe PDF enables the choice of using either time server checks or local time checks (in case users in the field have no Internet access).

Protect documents by setting the number of days or hours (expiry protection)
Instead of setting expiration by calendar date, you can set documents to expire in a number of days or hours, starting from the time that the user first opens the document. This option is most useful for distributing documents on disk, enabling their expiration to sleep until the user first opens it, which can be any time in the future. Both expiration by days and hours is calculated to the minute. For example, a document with an expiry set for 3 hours, when first opened at 1:45 pm will expire at 4:45 pm. Note that to use this feature the document needs to be converted for DRM control (not just copy protection) and has no effect on documents until they are closed.

Prevent printing or set a print limit on documents (print protection)
With CopySafe PDF you can nominate whether a user is allowed to print your document or not. When printing is disallowed, they will never be able to print it, and when printing is allowed, they are restricted to using real printers only. That is, a printer physically-connected to the computer and thus not a virtual printer like a PDF plugin to be able to re-create your original.
By using our DRM options, you have even more precise control over print protection to be able to set limits per document and per user. For example, if you only want each user to be able to print a particular document once, then one visit to the printer is all they get.

Preventing forwarding and unauthorized distribution (rights protection)
The only way to prevent the unauthorized use of documents is by employing document rights management (DRM) and the only way to employ DRM that cannot be exploited is by using ArtistScope DRM. ArtistScope provides free DRM support for all licensed users of CopySafe PDF via their servers located in Australia and the U.S.A.

Total control over document management (super DRM)
DRM for your documents is FREE and it provides total control over all user and document properties. Imagine finding out that a user purchased your tutorial using a stolen credit card or bounced a check. With ArtistScope DRM, you can suspend their access to your documents with immediate effect, even on documents that they may have already downloaded.

CopySafe PDF Reader
The CopySafe PDF Reader is a FREE download to the public. The reader supports most of the features commonly found in all other PDF readers including page resizing, image zoom, auto-scrolling, bookmarks, hyperlinks and the most effective copy protection and access rights management options. The CopySafe PDF Reader can be redistributed with your project as a download for your website or on disk with your documents.

Language Support
The CopySafe PDF Reader is currently available in Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, Filipino, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai and Vietnamese. The language used in the software GUI can be changed at any time and is independent of the language set for the computer.

Can CopySafe PDF be read on all devices and OS such as phones?

No. Windows is required. However Mac can install the CopySafe PDF Reader by running Windows in a Parallels partition or by using Bootcamp.

ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS)

The ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) is a two-part solution that provides the most secure web-viewing environment possible. Nothing is left unprotected to copy or exploit with the ASPS filter running server side to deliver encrypted content to the ASPS Web Browser on the user's computer. ASPS provides the best solution for copy protecting all web content:

• Prevents download and save of web pages, html and their content.
• Prevents Print Screen , screen capture and screen recording.
• Prevents media and image downloaders from obtaining links.
• Prevents all data leakage and protects database records.
• Protects all web page media including Flash, PDF and video.
• Delivers all web requests and responses using the strongest encryption.
• Supports all web applications, scripting languages and SSL.
• Supports easy integration with any third party CSS or DRM solution.
• No special treatment required for any media (no encryption required).

CopySafe Web Protection

CopySafe Web provides the most secure copy protection for images because with image encryption and domain lock, your images are safe even from your staff and web master, and while on display they are protected from all methods of copy including Print Screen and screen capture software. The CopySafe Web plugin is the only method that can prevent screen capture. Other solutions promising grab protection are either only disabling hot keys or are just trying to detect some known capture programs. Such tricks may fool naive and unwary visitors, but anyone renaming the executable of any screen capture program will be free to copy as they please.

• Copy protect images and all other web page content.
• Safe from Print Screen and all screen capture software.
• Encrypted images cannot be retrieved from browser cache.
• Domain-locked images cannot be used elsewhere.
• Images stored on the server are safe from your web host.
• Images cannot be saved or scraped.

CopySafe Video Protection

CopySafe Video can be distributed by email, download and on disk for desktop viewing which can be the most secure deliverable when DRM is applied. Or they can be displayed on web pages without DRM except for password protection managed by CMS membership. Consequently, desktop reading is the preferred option employed by most authors because with DRM applied they have total control over all aspects with immediate effect on any changes made. For example if a subscriber defaults on payment, their subscription can be suspended to restrict their access, even to videos already downloaded and saved to the user's computer.

• Encrypt video for desktop reading with optional DRM or online web page display.
• Prevent all copy including PrintScreen and screen recording.
• Limit by number of views per user.
• Expire by calendar date or by hours/days from first use.
• Limit usage to 1-3 computers per subscriber with computer lock.
• Enable access by group or individual token, online or offline DRM.
• Multi-language support (including right-left).
• File encryption and decryption not limited by file size.
• Unique buffering enables large video files to play online instantly.
• Loss less compression dramatically decreases file size.
• Online DRM portal account included for free without limitation.
• Sell from our online book store for automated purchases/subscriptions.
• Track sales and usage per document and subscriber.
• Online Book Cover Design tool integrated with your DRM account.
• One-time software purchase - free support and upgrades for life.
