Why You Should Limit PDF Views

Limiting PDF views (open count limits) helps prevent uncontrolled sharing and reduces the risk of leaks. When you’re done sharing, you can revoke access so the link stops working. This gives you practical control over sensitive documents without date-based expiration.

How It Works

Step 1: Upload Your PDF

Simply upload your PDF document to MaiPDF's secure platform. We support password-protected files for added security.

Step 2: Set View Limits

Choose how many times the PDF can be opened. After the view limit is reached, access is blocked.

Step 3: Share Your PDF

Generate a secure link or QR code and share it with the intended recipients. You can revoke access anytime, and access can also stop when the view limit is reached.
