PDF protection has just got better thanks to the revolutionary Safeguard PDF protection suite from the LockLizard DRM Company. Using this software you have control over functions such as viewing, modifying, copying and saving of protected PDF documents.
PDF protection against photocopying or printing is managed using Watermarking technologies. Watermarks are produced whenever the document is printed or viewed, as specified by the publisher. Watermarks can include custom messages, images, system information such as company and user name, date/time and email address. The watermark can also be customized not to appear on the first page of a printed document. PDF protection watermarks using moiré fringes, examples of which are provided by LockLizard, may be added so that photocopies of protected documents are of poor quality.
Safeguard PDF protection allows a publisher to decide the duration over which a customer has access to a protected PDF document. This may be achieved in two ways: customer and document expiry. With customer expiry, the customer has access to subscriptions limited to the duration of time ...
... he/she has paid for. Once this time has expired, they can still access the documents they had paid for, but not any published afterwards. With document expiry, PDF protection enables you to prevent the use of PDF documents once a predetermined date has passed. When documents are available for a limited amount of time, you can ensure that customers can only use current versions, and cannot access out of date information. Another Safeguard PDF protection feature under this category is Instant Revocation. If customers are required to connect to your server before they can view a document, you can revoke their license to use documents or publications instantly even though they had access to those documents before.
Offline protection of your PDF documents is also possible with Safeguard PDF protection. The control parameters you set are locked into each document when it is protected. Customers only need to connect to the Internet once to obtain licences to view their documents. LockLizard PDF protection software transfers the decryption key transparently to the user's computers and further verification is done offline. The requirement for users to go online or not for authentication lies with the publisher of the document.
Documents enforcing PDF protection via Safeguard PDF Security and Safeguard Enterprise PDF security must be read using the Safeguard Secure PDF Viewer. This Viewer guarantees PDF protection by enforcing the preset parameters of the protected document which can not be altered by users or by LockLizard staff. The independence achieved by this Viewer ensures that a protected document's security is not breached by plug-ins or conflicts from JavaScript applications/malicious codes or similar hacking methods.
PDF protection using LockLizard DRM software is at the highest level as document encryption is done using AES algorithm at 256 bits which is its strongest setting. The US federal government approved it as a standard in 2002, and then in 2003 granted approval for use with classified documents.
