Secure pitch deck sharing with MaiPDF — view limits, watermarks, and access analytics

Sales pitch decks contain proprietary pricing, competitive positioning, and strategic insights. When shared via email or cloud links, they can be forwarded to competitors in seconds. MaiPDF lets you share pitch decks through secure links with full control over who views them, how many times, and for how long — while tracking every open in real time.

Protect Every Aspect of Your Pitch Deck

View Limits

Set exactly how many times a prospect can open your deck — 1, 3, or 5 views. Once reached, access is automatically revoked.

Password Protection

Require a password before viewing. Share the password separately through a secure channel to ensure only the intended recipient can access it.

Dynamic Watermark

Overlay viewer-specific information (IP, timestamp) on every page. Deters screenshots and traces leaks back to the source.

Expiration Date

Set links to expire after your negotiation window closes. Access automatically ends on the date you choose — no manual cleanup needed.

Email Verification

Require a one-time email code before viewing. Know exactly which person opened your deck — not just which device.

Real-Time Analytics

See when your deck was opened, from which location, and on what device. Prioritize follow-ups with the most engaged prospects.

No-Download Mode

Disable download and print buttons completely. Prospects can view the deck online but cannot save a local copy to forward.

Revoke Access

Disable any link instantly from your dashboard. Even if the link was forwarded, it becomes inaccessible the moment you revoke.

Pitch deck sharing workflow

Before the meeting

Send a controlled link so the prospect can preview the deck without receiving a raw attachment.

After the meeting

Use analytics to see whether the deck was reopened, forwarded internally, or ignored before scheduling the next touch.

For confidential pricing or strategy

Use MaiPDF App DRM and .maipdf packaging when the deck includes non-public pricing, roadmap, investor material, or partner terms.

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.
