Until the creation of eBook protection software, the way to protect eBook documents was a tedious process. Essentially, you had to spend all day, every day, scouring the Internet looking for pirated copies of your eBooks. What made matters worse, you had no idea how many times your eBook was stolen before you caught it. Thankfully, there are now ways to protect your eBook before it gets stolen.

PDF Protection SoftwareYour Fortress Against Marauders

While it's still a good idea to watch the Internet for illegal copies of your eBooks, at least you don't have to track down thousands of illegal copies and threaten untold numbers of people with lawsuits. PDF protection software prevents threats by making sharing useless. You can't prevent the sharing with legal means, but you can prevent people who didn't buy your book from opening it.
PDF protection programs work by providing a license only to the computers that your document was bought from. Only those computers can open it. No other computer has this license, so they can't open it. The purchaser of your eBook can certainly share this document over their network, upload it to a website and email it, but the people receiving it can never open it.

Protected PDFsCan't Be Opened, Can't Be Stolen

If your protected PDFs can't be opened, they can't be shared. If they can't be shared, they can't be stolen. You will be the only source for your eBooks, as it should be.

This is the situation you need to keep your business going. The problem with not protecting your PDFs is that you have no idea how much money you've lost before you caught the pirates. Of course, you've only caught the tip of the iceberg when you found who publicly posted your document.

You can, of course, track down everyone who has downloaded your document, but can you imagine how much time it would take to catch all these peoplec Can you imagine how many other people they've shared your file with in the meanwhilec

Protect Your PDFs When You Refund

No business owner really likes giving refunds, but it's especially bad news when you're selling PDFs. Wal-Mart can get their merchandise back when they give refunds. Without being able to reclaim and protect your PDFs when giving refunds, you're essentially giving them away. Now, with PDF protection software, you can shut off the license when you give a refund. For all intents and purposes, you've reclaimed and protected your PDF.
