No file to forward: buyer access instead of copies

A stamped PDF can still be forwarded – the stamp only shows who leaked it. With HelpRange buyers read in a protected viewer with their e-mail on every page, there is no file to pass on, and access is revoked on a refund.

Personalised (social DRM) watermarks are how many publishers protect e-books, courses and paid reports: the buyer's own e-mail on every page makes forwarding personal. They do not make copying impossible – they make the source of a leak obvious.

How to watermark a PDF for each buyer

  1. Choose the PDF you sell (up to 10 MB).
  2. Paste your buyers, one per line – e.g. jane@example.com, Jane Doe, 1042 – or upload the CSV export of your shop.
  3. Choose what the stamp shows: name, order ID, date.
  4. Download the ZIP and send every buyer their own copy.

Stamped copies or buyer access?

A stamped copy is still a file: it can be forwarded, and refunds cannot take it back. With HelpRange buyer access buyers read in a protected viewer with their e-mail on every page, there is no file to pass on, and access ends on a refund.

FAQ

Watermark a PDF for each buyer – questions

Is it free?

Yes – no sign-up, PDFs up to 10 MB, up to 50 buyers at a time.

What does the stamp show?

Always the buyer's e-mail; optionally the name, the order ID and today's date – on every page, diagonally and in the footer. Each copy also carries an invisible fingerprint our leak tracer reads back.

Does a watermark stop buyers sharing the PDF?

No. A stamped file can still be forwarded or uploaded – the stamp identifies whose copy leaked and deters most buyers. To stop sharing, give buyers access instead of a file.

How should the CSV look?

One buyer per row: an e-mail address and optionally a name and an order ID, in any column order, separated by commas or semicolons. A header row is skipped.

Do you keep my file?

No – the PDF and the buyer list are processed in memory and not stored.
