Your PDF is your product. Don't lose control of it.
Instant.pub personalizes, delivers, and tracks the documents you sell — so every copy is tied to one buyer and your work stops spreading for free. Absolute protection is impossible. Eliminating anonymity isn't.
No special reader for your customer · opens in any PDF app
The problem
Every way to sell a PDF is broken.
You've poured months into the work. Then you have to choose how to get it to the people who paid — and every option costs you something.
01 Print & ship
Slow, expensive, and it eats your margin. And if you're a team of one, it isn't even on the table.
02 Just email the file
Fast and free — and forwarded, posted to a download site, and resold the moment it lands.
03 Locked-down DRM
Costs a fortune and forces your customer into a clunky app. You look unprofessional; your inbox fills with support tickets.
Instant.pub is the missing middle: the speed and cost of digital, with the control of print.
How it works
Four steps from your file to a tracked delivery.
01
Upload your document
Drop in a PDF (or other file). We scan it, read its properties, and let you tune them.
02
Package & license it
Bundle documents, attach a license, and choose your security and overlay settings.
03
Send it your way
By email, through your shopping cart or LMS, or automated end-to-end with our REST API.
04
Track every copy
Watch deliveries, opens, and downloads in real time — mapped by location, tied to a buyer.
What you get
Protect it. Deliver it. Know where it goes.
Protect
Eliminate anonymity.
No one can make a PDF impossible to copy — so we make it impossible to copy anonymously. Every file carries personally-identifying watermarks, custom PDF properties, embedded tracking links, and deeply embedded steganographic codes.
Deliver
Sell where you already sell.
Send instantly by email, or automate everything through our REST API and integrations with Shopify, 3dcart, and major learning management systems. Your customer opens the file in any normal PDF reader.
Know
See where your work goes.
Track deliveries, opens, and downloads in real time, mapped by location. When the same copy turns up in three countries at once, you'll know it's been shared — and whose copy it was.
The honest version
We don't promise the unbreakable. We promise the unmistakable.
Any file can be screenshotted, retyped, or photographed. Chasing perfect protection is a trap. So we go after the thing that actually deters sharing: anonymity. Four independent layers of marking make sure a copy can always be traced back to the person who received it.

What creators say.
"I used to find my course PDF on three different download sites. Since switching to Instant.pub, every copy has my buyer's name on it — and the leaks just stopped."
