Secure pdf url in WordPress

[shmick]

Hi there,

I have PDF Stamper and eStore working together fine – great products and just made my first sale!

I do have a query though – I have uploaded my pdf document to wordpress so it can be stamped by PDF Stamper (as opposed to hosting on my Amazon S3 account). I also understand that when someone buys it, they are given an encrypted link so they won’t know where it’s coming from.

However, while the PDF file is hosted within the WordPress Media area, isn’t there a good chance that if someone looked for it, they could just find that static file url and access it? It seems like there is a lack of security there… is there anything that can be done about this?

Thanks for your time!

This has already been addressed over the years:

Some of these security measures can be automagically implemented by our FREE All In One security plugin:

Right, thanks for the links.
