I will start using this immediately. Question- do the links expire after a certain amount of time, or can I control how long the PDF is available at that link? That would be an important feature to me (as a way to protect confidentiality etc)

Yes, we'll delete files and links after 24 hours. That's not implemented yet, but will be happening by the end of the weekend.
We're also planning some pro features like account-level permissions, and we could serve the PDF file dynamically from our servers instead of storing it on S3.
I'd love to know if you have any precise security requirements, feel free to email me: alex@heeton.me

#13Great demo! I'd make the "You see this" "They see this" images larger. And add a favicon, if only so it's more clear that the "" at top left is a logo (and when the user clicks on the logo, go home).

Ah, that sucks. Sorry about that. We haven't run into this.
This may be due to your PDF export settings or the library we're using to render the PDFs.
We'll look into it.

It's the example pdf, so it's probably the renderer. I'm using v22.0.1229.94 on 10.8
