How MaiPDF Works

Upload Your PDF

Upload your pre-password-protected PDFs to MaiPDF, and it will securely store and generate a link or QR code for sharing.

Generate Dynamic QR Codes

Each file generates a dynamic QR code. The QR code contains access time, IP, and browser information, offering full access analytics for each view.

Secure Access Control

Set viewing limits and duration, review access, and keep your PDF files secure with encrypted sharing. Full control over who views your file.

How to Use MaiPDF

1. Upload Your Password-Protected PDF

Start by uploading a PDF file that's already protected with a password. MaiPDF will handle the rest.

2. Generate Secure Sharing Link or QR Code

After uploading, generate a secure link or QR code for easy sharing. The file will be securely hosted on MaiPDF's cloud.

Get Started

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?
