FAQ Category: Web Viewer

There are two reasons why this button may not appear for you or your end users:

1. Check the DRM Policy Setting that is assigned to your user in your Vitrium account and make sure that the Offline Access field has a value that's greater than 0. For Enterprise customers that integrate with an external system, you may need to check your code. 
   
   
   
2. If the DRM Policy assigned to your user appears correct and you have External Service enabled on your account, then follow these steps:
   
   
   1. In your Vitrium account, go to the Settings tab 
   2. Click on Integration Settings, ensure Enable SSO is enabled(checked).
   3. Make sure the 'Remember Me' option is enabled (checked). If it isn't, enable it and click Save Settings.
      

We recommend that you initially set up your Users (the recipients of your content) with a strong password, minimum 8 characters, and one that uses a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.

We also recommend you select "Force user to change password" when you're adding Users into your Vitrium account as this way, the User can select their own password which may be more familiar to them. 

For additional password controls, be sure to read more about our "Security Settings" in the Vitrium Security Admin Manual. 

No, copy and paste will work regardless if it is disabled in content settings. Applications that read content aloud need direct access to the content. Accessibility mode overrides the copy/paste content setting, 

The problem is usually caused by proxy/firewall that interrupts the communication between the web viewer content (or Adobe program) and the authentication server.

To resolve this issue, ask your IT department to whitelist the domain protectedpdf.com on port 443 (https).  

If the customer who sent you the content is using their company domain (i.e. view.companydomain.com), then ask your IT department to whitelist that domain on the same port 443 (https).

For customers on our Canadian server, you will need to ask the  IT department to whitelist the domain vitrium.com on port 443 (https).

Why proxy servers affect the process:

Proxy servers are designed to protect your organization from unwanted viruses, malware, and other phishing-type schemes. However, some types of communication is warranted, such as the content you're trying to access from a legitimate and trusted source.

Proxy server required configuration changes:

1. The proxy must ALLOW direct communication
   • With the DNS address api.protectedpdf.com and docs-ca.vitrium.com
   • On ports 443

Firewall required configuration changes:

   • https://api.protectedpdf.com/
   • https://docs-ca.vitrium.com/
2. The firewall must ALLOW communication with
   • https://api.protectedpdf.com/
   • https://docs-ca.vitrium.com/

Adobe Reader/Acrobat Trust Manager configuration changes:

1. Open Adobe Reader/Acrobat
2. From the top menu bar, select Edit > Preferences
3. Under Categories, click Trust Manager
4. Click the Change Settings button
5. Remove any blocks to https://api.protectedpdf.com/ or https://docs-ca.vitrium.com/
6. Allow communication with https://api.protectedpdf.com/ or https://docs-ca.vitrium.com/

How to check for a proxy server:

1. Click on the Start Menu and open Settings
2. Select Network & Internet > Proxy

Special consideration:

• Content providers have the option to use their own domain name. In those cases, you should contact your content provider and whitelist their domain name instead.
