Protected PDF documents from LockLizard have preset parameters to prevent unauthorized viewing, publishing, printing or modification, and therefore special document viewing software is needed that allows only authorised persons to use those documents. Safeguard Secure PDF Viewer supports the PDC Format of published documents protected by Safeguard PDF Security and Safeguard Enterprise PDF Security. The Secure PDF Viewer verifies and enforces the controls that have been set according to the licence issued by the owner of the document. It therefore ensures that these settings cannot be altered by the end user, or even the LockLizard Company.
Safeguard Secure PDF Viewer does not use or require passwords to verify a user's licence. When you view any protected document for the first time, the viewer will require connection to the Internet to verify that it can have the decryption key needed to allow it decipher the document for you to view it. If the key is not already available the Secure PDF Viewer will check with the publisher's server to confirm if the ...
... user has access to the file or document and the rights that have been granted. If access has been granted, Secure PDF Viewer will have the decryption key transferred to itself thus allowing the use of the document. If access has not been authorized, the viewer will generate a message preset by the document owner setting out how to gain access to the document or confirming that it is not for unauthorized use. This process only takes place once, unless the publisher requires regular license checking or in instances where actions implicitly need online verification (print or view a limited number of times).
Secure PDF Viewer does not support JavaScript so as to prevent the execution of malicious code which may compromise the security of the protected documents and the user's computer. It also does not allow insecure plug-ins or the use of weaker algorithms or methods. The contents of a decrypted document are only sent to memory, and therefore no files, temporary or hidden, are created on the hard drives. With Secure PDF Viewer users only have install their license with you once, by double clicking on the initial licence file. Validation and verification thereafter is seamless, real time, and web-based to further improve security.
The Secure PDF Viewer is programmed to automatically prevent copying, saving and any modification to your protected PDF document. It also disables use of Windows print screen, screen grabber applications, printing to file, image printers, PDF format (i.e. Acrobat distiller) and several other PDF print drivers. It ensures that protected documents cannot be shared with computers other than the authorised ones while ensuring the document is fully protected in its life cycle from start to finish.
Secure PDF Viewer is free software that can only be distributed without modification. It is supported on Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista and MAC OSX version 10.4 and above. Languages supported include: English, Russian, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Dutch, Spanish, Turkish and French.
