Understanding Access Limits
MaiPDF’s access limit feature allows you to set precise controls over how many times a document can be opened and for how long it remains accessible during each session.
Maximum Open Count
Control document access by setting:
- Single use: Perfect for confidential documents that should only be viewed once
- Limited access: Set a specific number of times the document can be opened
- Unlimited access: Allow unrestricted opening within the expiration period
Reading Duration Controls
Set time-based restrictions:
- Session timeout: Automatically close documents after a specified time
- Total reading time: Limit the cumulative time spent viewing the document
- Idle timeout: Close documents when no activity is detected

- Monitor usage and adjust limits based on patterns
Monitoring and Analytics
Track how limits affect document usage:
