Is your digital publication library legally protected against unauthorized AI scraping?

Under EU CDSM Article 4, publishers and content creators have the right to opt out of text and data mining (TDM) training pipelines. However, simply adding a notice to your website's terms of service isn't enough—the law requires rights reservations to be made using machine-readable signals.

If your organization manages thousands of digital PDFs, academic papers, or media reports, manually tagging files is an operational bottleneck.

The pdfRest TDM Reserve PDF API automates this protective layer at scale:

W3C TDMRep Standard: Embed an official, machine-readable text and data mining reservation signal directly into your PDF metadata with a single API call.

Non-Destructive Integration: Secure your files without modifying or risking your document’s original layout, text layers, or structural integrity.

Automated Compliance: Programmatically protect entire document libraries across your enterprise CMS or distribution pipeline before content is indexed by AI web crawlers.

Assert your intellectual property rights seamlessly without breaking developer or publishing workflows.
