WatchDox allows you also to download documents and the protections stay even when off-line (currently only for Office documents). Try going to http://www.watchdox.com/example then click on “More” icon and then “Download Protected”. You can see you can download a protected and encrypted version of the document.
The document owner can change permissions to the document at any time and those will be applied also to the downloaded document.
In general, users (recipients) can always go to http://www.watchdox.com to My Documents (then to My Received Documents) and they will have access to all the documents that were shared with them via WatchDox (so there is no need to search the email with the original link).

If someone receives the document are they allowed to download it to their desktop or does it stay in the email? Is this an option for the sender to decide? Let us say the primary user allows the document to be downloaded to a desktop. If the receiver is reading the document offline, and the primary user wants to take away his viewing rights it seems he will not have the authority to do so. It seems once someone takes the file into their desktop and offline they can do as they please with it. So does Watchdox only give the primary user control of all documents so long as they are online?

[...] Of course, WatchDox can’t guarantee 100-percent safe document transfers—it can’t prevent someone from taking a screen grab, for one—but the service provides enough added security benefits to make it worth a look. WatchDox is currently in beta and free to use. WatchDox [via Web Worker Daily] [...]

WatchDox does have basic screen capture prevention. However, in today’s world with the iPhone and Blackberry that have built-in cameras and are email-enabled you are two clicks away from taking a photo of the screen and emailing it to the world. Having said that, WatchDox has a unique solution even for that…

Keep in mind that the watermarks help identify the leak and together with the tracking help in most cases deter a violator.

Andy O. You can control print permissions but yes, there are these little “caveats” here and there in terms of privacy breeches.

Great features while the document remains electronic, but is it too obvious to state that once someone prints out your document, you have lost all control?
