PDF View Limits (Open Count Limits)

Published: January 15, 2025 | Updated: December 03, 2025

Welcome to MaiPDF, your trusted solution for secure and controlled document sharing. Instead of date-based expiration, you can manage access using view count limits and revocable links.

Why Use View Limits for PDFs?

View limits help ensure your documents are only accessible a limited number of times. This works well for sensitive information, limited previews, or controlled sharing.

MaiPDF View Limit Features

MaiPDF provides practical options for controlling access, including:

How to Set View Limits with MaiPDF

  1. Upload your PDF to MaiPDF.
  2. Enable view limits in the sharing settings.
  3. Choose the maximum number of opens/views allowed.
  4. Share your document securely with your audience.

Benefits of Using View Limits

Use Online Cloud Sharing for speed; use MaiPDF App DRM when screenshots, forwarding, or device access matter

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.

Fast cloud link

Upload a PDF, share a browser link or QR code, and keep read code / modify code management.

Protected .maipdf file

Package the PDF in the MaiPDF App with local encryption, license rules, expiry, open limits, and revoke control.

App-only protections

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.

Need stronger control?
