How to serve PDF files

    Hi,
    Great plugin.
    I noticed that eCommerce digital product delivery setup (as shown on the WC site here) offers 3 ways to serve the PDF file:
    Force Download
    X-Sendfile
    Simple Redirect

    – Does WaterWoo work with all delivery systems?
    – Are there any you suggest for better watermarking performance and that can at the same time mask the actual URL with the original file when delivered?
    – Do the watermarked files saved on my server time out or expire after the user has downloaded a definite amount of times?

    Thanks so much for your support. Yes/No answers will also work! 🙂
    Regards,
    Chris

    Hi calx601,

    Thanks for your thoughtful questions.

    – WaterWoo free version works with Force, Redirect, and X-Accel-Redirect/X-Sendfile
    – I haven’t noticed a difference at all in speed between the three. Even with larger PDFs (I’ve tested up to 2.5MB) it’s pretty zippy on my server with PHP memory set at 64MB. Force and X-Sendfile still mask the original file’s URL; Redirect does not. This is something to look at.
    – Download limits set in the Woo product back end still apply; however, the files remain there unless deleted. This could also be looked at.

    Hope this helps.
