User Experience in Vitrium’s Viewer with Accessibility Features Enabled

When this DRM field is set and applied to the user(s) who requires accessibility, this enables the ARIA⁽¹⁾ feature in Vitrium’s web viewer, which looks like this:

Web Viewer With Accessibility Turned On

Regular Web Viewer

---

(1) Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) is a set of roles and attributes that define ways to make web content and web applications) more accessible to people with disabilities. Screen readers work with regular HTML, but adding ARIA can provide screen reader users with greater context and interactivity with the content on the page. It does not add new functionality and is meant to act only as an extra descriptive layer for screen readers.

Download To Print

This special DRM policy field is very useful in several different cases, but the main uses are:

• If you require users to print a very large document (over 100 pages)
• If you require users to print a very high-quality print of your document
• If you require a more secure print method than Vitrium’s regular web viewer printing

This policy allows users to download a protected PDF file (from within the web viewer) so they can print the PDF in one of Vitrium’s supported PDF viewers. The file will only be available for printing for 30 minutes, then it will lock up again. This is why this option is quite useful for a more secure print option!

important note
You cannot control the number of copies printed in the 30 minute printing window.

Allow Source File Download

This special DRM policy field can be useful in very rare, but unique cases where you want to allow users to download an unprotected copy of your document. You can use it to send a file securely through Vitrium’s system, similarly to a secure file sharing system. You may want to use this feature to distribute an Excel file securely, since Excel formulas do not work in Vitrium’s web viewer and were never designed to.
