Many publishers sell downloadable documents on the web. Go to Amazon and you can purchase PDF files of popular books.

The key issue that book publishers have with downloadable files is that users may be able to distribute your intellectual property to others.

Two products that book publishers use to distribute content are Adobe Acrobat and E-book. Each product offers distinct advantages to publishers.

Adobe Acrobat is a universal standard. If you are not afraid of users copying and distributing your files use Adobe Acrobat. If your information is time sensitive and is quickly dated use Adobe Acrobat.

If you want to protect your intellectual property and can't afford to use Adobe's LiveCycle Server to protect your documents use E-book software such as eBook Pro.

Adobe Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat PDF files can be protected in a number of ways;

1. Password Protection - the publisher may require a users enter a password to open the file.

2. You can control whether your customer copy or print from a document.

3. Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server - Authors who protect their documents with Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server can audit what is done with each copy of the document (such as opening, printing, and editing). They can also change or revoke access rights at any time. If an author has revoked access to a document that is protected by Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server, Adobe Reader or Acrobat informs you that your access rights have been removed the next time you try to open the document.

Pricing for Adobe Acrobat Professional starts at $449 retail.

Pricing for components of the Adobe Adobe LiveCycle Server starts at $50,000 USD.

eBook Pro

eBook Pro is an economical alternative to using the Abobe LiveCycle Policy Server to protect PDF files.

eBook Pro not only protects your book from printing and copying but also from being opened by unauthorized persons. The eBook checks with its server to see if it has a valid active registration code and if the user has not  exceeded the number of registrations which you established for your e-books. Publishers can disable the eBook if a customer wants a refund.

Pricing for eBook Pro is $197 plus $0.10 for each registration code after the first 1,000.
