I don't know how epub and pdf's DRM work so I wouldn't be able to tell if and how you could do that with HikaShop. I can just say that we have an API which enables you to write plugins for HikaShop which can then be triggered when an order is created/confirmed/cancelled in order to do some processing so maybe that using that you could generate custom copies of the files for the customer...

But since the past two years, we created HikaSerial which allow to sell unique serials/files/data and which have a plugin with the "secure e-book" platform. Like I said two years ago, it is still possible to do some custom development in order to implement such custom plugin.

Will it be possible to implement customer's name and IP embedding into epub and pdf ebooks sold with Hikashop?")* How does the hikaserial works with e-books? ex. I want to sell pdf of a book to a customer. He orders and download a pdf - how it is protected against redistribution? Does he need to fill serial no. when he wants to open PDF? thanks for answer. We are considering two options - to buy HikaSerial, or to develop DRM plugin - but we will need a developer for the second option. We have found something like this: [ pastebin.com/9iuNE4SC](http://pastebin.com/9iuNE4SC) and [ pastebin.com/1Yy8xgKB](http://pastebin.com/1Yy8xgKB) but it is for older version of Joomla - maybe it would be fine to just rewrite the code for Joomla 2.5, but we still need a developer for that.

Will it be possible to implement customer's name and IP embedding into epub and pdf ebooks sold with Hikashop?")* Hi, For e-books, HikaSerial uses the platform "secure ebook" like I said in my previous message. It is "secure ebook" which secure the ebooks... like his name say it. HikaSerial makes the link with the platform and redirect the download request to them. The HikaShop API is alwas retro-compatible. A plugin which work with HikaShop 1.5.5 should work without any problem with HikaShop 2.2 But his compatibility with Joomla is another thing (1.5 / 2.5 / 3.x ).
