I think what I am trying to do is fairly common but I haven't been
able to find a solution...
I have a website where users license documents for 2 weeks at a time.
When they login links are displayed to any media (PDF, PowerPoint
etc.) currently licensed to them. If their credentials check out they
will then see a page with the iPaper viewer. Since I am handling the
credential verification I'm not worried about non-licensed users
getting to this page, but I am afraid that they could just copy the
embedding code and use it to access the document even after their
subscription expires.
My Question is: am I able to create an embedded iPaper viewer that can
only be used once, or that would not work when running outside of my
website?
Thanks for any and all help!!
- Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Good news - I have just the thing for you. Check out iPaper Secure -
an extension of iPaper that allows you lock down embedding in just
this way:
http://www.scribd.com/publisher/ipaper_secure
Bad news - the implementation difficulty is significantly higher than
with the normal version. Once you read over the documentation you
should see fairly quickly whether it's worth it for you, just thought
I'd give you fair warning.
