There are some sponors of my book project who should be able to see the progress.



I want for them to upload the actual PDF of the book

and send them codes for download.



The download should be stemped

The code should expire



I can not figure out how to do this.

This help page explains how our download delivery system works and how to upload a file that would be provided to buyers as a download:

This help page explains how to set up PDF Stamping:

Once you have set up PDF Stamping and have waited at least 15 minutes after uploading your PDF file, you can use the "Send free download link" function in your Seller Admin to send each of your sponsors a free link to download a stamped copy of the PDF.

The part with the stamping works now.



Before the official release of the book, only some sponsors of the project should be allowed to download.



My idea is:



1.) I send a code to a project sponsor

2.) Project sponor goes to e-junkie.com

3.) He gives the code

4.) He downloads his stamped PDF



The only way, I see now is



Give the download an unreal high price like 1 million US$

Make voucher codes with 1 million US$ only for this product.



But there should be a more easy way to do so.



I want later to use the same method for book reviewers, send the an download code.

You can use our Send Free Download Link feature to send downloads of your product to just the people you want. Our PDF Stamping feature is set to work with our Send Free Download Link feature. To test this option out go to Seller Admin>Send Free Download Link and send a link to yourself. Bear in mind that this would be a manual process. If you want to setup a way for certain people to get the PDF file automatically, then the process you suggested would work fine.

I know the free download.



I only fear accidential indexing by search engines.



Browser toolbars reporting every page visited. So the URL could be brought to an unwanted public attention.



So I wanted to protect the download by an one time code.

Every download link we issue already contains a unique code that expires after the number of download Attempts within the number of Hours you specify in the product's settings, so even if a link gets shared or out "in the wild" somehow, it soon becomes useless to everyone.



Also, the actual download links provided in our thank-you pages cannot be followed by search engine crawlers, and we've never seen a case where even the thank-you/download page itself has been indexed, nor should that happen.



Browser toolbars should not report every page visited for search indexing purposes, as search engines cannot reasonably presume every page a user visits is meant to be accessible to the general public; they generally rely on their own, automated "spider" programs that simply follow links from pages which are already public.
