Pro Requires Foliora Pro
Viewer locks and dynamic watermark
Hide download and print, block right-click and copy, and stamp every page with the reader's name, email and date.
On this page
Open Foliora → Pro Settings → Protection.
Where they apply#
Apply locks and watermark to:
- Protected files only (default) — files in Secure Mode.
- Every Foliora viewer on the site.
Protected links always use their own download and print choice.
Locks#
| Lock | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Hide the download button and refuse downloads | On | No download button; the signed stream refuses download requests. |
| Hide the print button and block page printing | On | No print button; the browser's print shows “Printing this document is disabled.” |
| Block right-click, text selection and copy | On | Also applies inside EPUB pages. |
These discourage copying; they cannot stop a determined visitor, because the browser still receives the document.
Watermark#
Tick Show a watermark over the pages, then set the text and opacity.
| Placeholder | Replaced with |

- Default text:
{name} · {email} · {date}(up to 120 characters). - Empty placeholders are dropped, so guests simply see the date and site.
- Opacity: 5–50 %, default 15 %.
- The watermark is tiled over every page and follows zoom and view modes.
The watermark is drawn in the viewer, not written into the PDF file.
