If sites are local, or aren't web accessible, PMBP won't work.

The workaround is for users to use Prince locally, or add basic auth integraiton. The band-aid is to just notify them their site isn't public (detect it somehow, probably using a web-service)

This may be good but a chore. At least the generate page should have a link saying “privacy information” which links to our website. There we explain: -when generating, a hidden file is created on their server which is effectively impossible to guess -when downloading the watermarked pdf, the url of that hidden file is shared with DocRaptor who convert the HTML into a PDF and add the watermarks. See their privacy policy. -when downloading the paid PDF, the url of the hidden file is shared with printmy.blog and DocRaptor. See our privacy policy -website must be public in order for DocRaptor to generate the PDFs. Otherwise, use basic auth, or purchase prince with pmb
