When you disable printing in Digify, recipients will not be able to print your file directly from the Digify file viewer.
However, most web browsers (such as Chrome, Edge, and Safari) include their own Print to PDF or Save as PDF function. This option is built into the browser and cannot be blocked or disabled by Digify, as it is outside our platform's control.
What this means:
Printing in the Digify file viewer is blocked when disabled.
Browser-level "Print to PDF" options may still allow saving a copy.
This limitation applies to all web-based document security and DRM solutions.
Recommendations:
To minimize risk if you are concerned about recipients making copies:
Enable Dynamic Watermarks so each page shows the recipient's details.
Use Screen Shield to limit what can be captured on screen.
Set expiry dates and revoke access when needed.
