Frequently Asked Questions
Can visitors download the PDF?
Only if you enable the Download/Print buttons. Disabling them discourages saving but isn’t foolproof.
Does “Members-only” really lock the PDF?
It changes which buttons appear. For full protection, restrict the page with your membership plugin.
Who gets progress saving?
Logged-in users. Guests can read but won’t have their place remembered.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes—responsive in modern browsers and themes.
