Online Sharing and App DRM
They solve different delivery problems. Link and QR belong to Online Sharing; App DRM protects an encrypted file in the MaiPDF app.
Online Sharing
Best when people need fast browser access and you still need limits, verification, watermarks, later file changes, and access records.

Understand Online Sharing →App DRM
Best when the file itself needs encryption, device-bound authorization, revocation, controlled reading, and supported-platform capture protection.
