I recently took a class on eBook publishing and was told to use Adobe Acrobat for my book. Also, Clickbank was suggested as the distributor.
During the class I was told that there's a way to use Adobe to copy protect my book, but this does not appear to be the case. You can still copy and paste all the contents even when you have the feature disabled. Plus you can still save it to a hard drive even though I thought I disabled this as well.
Also, I was told that the Clickbank purchase link that's used is supposed to temporary once someone purchases the book, therefore they cannot just send someone else the link to download for free. Again, this does not appear to be the case.
Is there a better way to encode my book and a better distributor out there?
For the Adobe protection system to work you must enable both the Owner and User passwords.
Unfortunately even that is not particularly secure. If you want a proven security system for your PDF files take a look at my HYPrLock security system at http://hyprlock.com. It's been used successfully by many Activ E-Book users and you can find feed back in this forum by searching for HYPrLock.
BTW - HYPrLock can use PayPal, ClickBank and AlertPay for secure customer purchase systems.
