License, Share & Track Your PDFs

How do you quickly and safely share your PDF documents? Not printing – too slow and too expensive. Not DRM software – it's expensive and a burden to use.

Now there's Instant.Pub. It's fast, easy to use, and cost-effective. We also keep you safe by helping your customers understand the license they must abide by, inserting that license into your PDF, and tracking the way that PDF is used.

Fast, Automated Document Delivery

We work with you to deliver your PDFs your way. You can manually fill orders using our great website, or you can use our fast and well documented REST API to automate PDf delivery.

Either way, when an order is placed your customer will receive an email with a unique download link. Thanks to our order tracking system you will know when the email has been delivered, when the link has been opened, and more.

Protect Intellectual Property

Instant.Pub does everything possible to keep your PDF safe. You can watermark every page, insert the license they signed, and add the details in ways the customer can't see. This way if the PDF is shared you know who is responsible.

We also insert links that the user can click on to check for updates to the PDF. This checks for updates but it also checks for suspicious activity. Printing and copy & pasting can also be disabled.

Increase Your Sales & Profits

Being a publisher can be tough. Printing, binding, shipping, over-stock, and under-stock threaten to eat up all your profits. And if you're not using physical books, you have to choose between expensive and frustrating DRM tools, or the the threat of piracy.

With Instant.Pub, there is no need to worry about any of that. We get your customers their PDFs lighting fast and at a price that will blow you away.

Customer-Specific Licenses Added to PDF

Easily insert common licenses or add your own, with support for many different types of macros! PDF has many security features to prevent alteration.

User Info Hidden in PDF

Each PDF has the user's information hidden inside, so if it shows up somewhere it shouldn't you'll know who put it there.

Logs Show Where PDF Is Downloaded

Every time a document is downloaded with an Instant.Pub link, a log is made. Download limits can be set.

PDF Phones Home

Every time the PDF is opened, it sends us information on where it is and who is using it. Some PDF viewers block this but many of the most common don't! Links offering updates are inserted, so even if the PDF isn't able to phone home automatically users may still click on the links and reveal their location. Multiple concurrent locations can reveal misuse!
