Why Secure Investor Documents?

Investor updates and pitch decks are confidential. A single forwarded link can leak to competitors or the wrong party. With verification, view limits, watermarks, and expiry you keep control and can see who actually opened the file—so you follow up with the right people.

Controls

Recommended Investor Security Stack

Email verification

Allow only known recipients. You see who opened in access records.

View limits

Cap repeated opens so the link isn’t shared endlessly.

Dynamic watermark

Show viewer identity on the PDF to deter screenshots and leaks.

Expiry

Auto-close access after the update window (e.g. board meeting).

Example

What Investors Actually See

Before opening the PDF, recipients may be asked to enter their email. After opening, you can review access records to see who viewed and when.

After You Share

  • Check access records in the first 24 hours to confirm engagement.
  • Follow up when a key recipient has viewed the file multiple times.
  • Revoke or tighten access immediately if the link is forwarded.

Updated MaiPDF protection path

Use Online Cloud Sharing for speed; use MaiPDF App DRM when screenshots, forwarding, or device access matter

SendPDFOnline pages now describe MaiPDF as a two-level product family: Online Cloud Sharing creates quick browser links and QR codes, while the MaiPDF App creates protected .maipdf packages for sensitive PDFs that need App DRM controls.

Fast cloud link

Upload a PDF, share a browser link or QR code, and keep read code / modify code management.

Protected .maipdf file

Package the PDF in the MaiPDF App with local encryption, license rules, expiry, open limits, and revoke control.

App-only protections

Use protected viewer, device binding, screenshot-aware controls, watermark trace, and license management where supported.

No web page can fully stop screenshots. MaiPDF App DRM is positioned as the stronger path: reduce casual copying, bind access to identity/devices, revoke licenses, and trace leaks with visible watermark information.

Need stronger control?

Create protected .maipdf documents with MaiPDF App DRM.
