When Miguel creates a PDF e-book for a customer, the customer information is inserted in two ways: visibly and invisibly. The invisible signature is automatic and cannot be turned off. The visible signature (in the form of a social DRM page) is disabled by default, but you can turn it on and set your own template or use the same one as for EPUB.
Encrypted PDF is not supported.
Social DRM
Social DRM is not inserted automatically, you must first enable it in the administration and set up a suitable template (you can use the sample). The template is described in the settings.
Three options can be set:
- the template itself in HTML or XHTML format (same as for EPUB)
- the page number on which the social page should be inserted (we recommend setting it to 2, i.e., after the cover)
- insertion mode
- insertion: insert a new page with content according to the template
- insertion with a blank page: insert a new page with the content according to the template + blank page to preserve the position of odd and even pages
- substitution: the set page is replaced with a new one with the content according to the template (the book preparation is more complicated, but the result looks better)
Examples of settings
The following examples show how each option works in different situations:
-
Page 2 + insertion:
A new page with social DRM is inserted before page 2 (after the first page, usually the cover). Warning: page 3 (before inserting it was 2) and other pages will have even and odd positions swapped and thus breaking multi-page graphics.
-
Page 3 + insertion with a blank page:
A new page with social DRM is inserted before page 3 (i.e., after page 2) and an empty page is inserted after it. As a result, a page that has previously even page number will still has even number, so multi-page graphics will not be broken.
-
Page 4 + substitution:
Page 4 is removed and a new social DRM page is inserted instead. Neither the order nor the position of the odd and even pages is changed.
