Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Protected PDF Downloads – Secure Expiring Links & Catalog Manager

The link is. Every download is handed out as an HMAC-signed link that stops working after the expiry you set, so a link that gets forwarded or posted somewhere is dead by the time anyone else opens it. The file itself stays in your Media Library, where it keeps its normal URL. Anyone who already knows that URL can still open it — this free version does not move or hide the file. Catalog Rocket Pro does: it stores each PDF in a folder with an unguessable name, so the only way in is through a valid link.

By default 30 minutes. You can change it under Catalogs → Settings.

Yes. Use the shortcode, or add data-catr-catalog="ID" to any button or link from your theme or page builder.

The shortcode outputs a plain button that inherits your active theme's button styling, so it matches the rest of your site. Add your own CSS class with the class attribute if you want.
