Whitepapers, case studies, and strategy PDFs are among your most powerful marketing tools — but they're also the hardest to control once shared. Recipients download, forward, and repost them indefinitely. With MaiPDF you set an expiration date, cap the number of opens, and track every view so your premium content stays exclusive.
How It Works
Drag and drop your PDF on MaiPDF. Your file is stored securely in the cloud, ready to share.
Choose an expiry date, cap the number of opens, add a password, or require email verification.
Copy the secure link or QR code and send it to prospects via email, ads, or social media.

Updated MaiPDF protection path
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.
Upload a PDF, share a browser link or QR code, and keep read code / modify code management.
Package the PDF in the MaiPDF App with local encryption, license rules, expiry, open limits, and revoke control.
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.
