Using copy protect PDF and site protection software in Joomla is now greatly simplified. As with any well designed CMS, they are easy to use to quickly create web pages, but almost impossible to customize without the availability of a plugin or extension that is properly designed and compatible with the core functions of the CMS, and Joomla is no different.Today the only effective copy protection solutions that can be used on web pages are those provided by ArtistScope.  The reason being is because ArtistScope provide the only copy protect software that is truly effective against all methods available for the copy and exploitation of  media, and they are the only effective copy protection solutions that can be used on web pages thanks to the ArtisBrowser secure web browser. Unlike today's popular web browsers that seem to be intended for amusement only, the ArtisBrowser is specially designed to protect media and intellectual property while displayed online.


However it is the extensions that ArtistScope provide for Joomla site owners that enable the use of copy protection for PDF and web pages without requiring any web development skills at all. Joomla extensions are available for ArtistScope Site Protection Software (ASPS), CopySafe PDF Protection, CopySafe Video Protection and CopySafe Web Protection that install like most other Joomla extensions. Once installed, site owners can upload copy protected PDF, images or video for easy placement into their web pages and posts from the inline CMS editor provided by Joomla. The settings page for each extension will enable the setting of default parameters to use on all web page displays, and from the Joomla editor, the media can be placed anywhere in the page while setting the parameters for that individual page such as print control, copy control, access control and width and height of the protected media's display area. 

The ArtistScope Site Protection Software (ASPS) extension works differently to the CopySafe extensions because it doesn't involve media uploads. Instead the ASPS extension controls which pages are copy protected by injecting meta-tags on the fly that tell the ASPS filter on the web server to encrypt the web page. It also injects meta-tags for the ArtisBrowser that govern the level of protection and security options to apply to the web page while on display.
With ASPS, site protection can be applied to individual web pages or a whole section by nominating a "keyword" found in the URL of the web page or the folder from which it is delivered, making it ideal for any type of web site that needs to maintain vanilla doorway pages as in introduction to the public or to serve as fodder for search engines.

ASPS provides the most secure website protection for all media except PDF thanks to Adobe quirks. So to securely copy protect PDF we recommend the CopySafe PDF Protection software.
