MaiPDF App workflow
The same MaiPDF product family supports two paths: fast Online Cloud Sharing for browser links, and MaiPDF App / App DRM for stronger file-level control. These App screens show how a PDF can move from upload to DRM packaging and protected viewing.
Use Online Cloud Sharing when you need a quick PDF link, QR code, password, expiry, and access records.
For sensitive contracts, proposals, or internal files, use App DRM to create a protected .maipdf document.
Recipients view the document under controlled conditions instead of receiving an ordinary uncontrolled PDF.
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.
