Most security systems are said to be difficult to install. Also, the more the more security you want, the more complicated and difficult they get. But LockLizard, PDF DRM Security has been created to be easy for both the end user and management. The document control parameters are easy to set thus making this software's adoption easy for everyone.
LockLizard PDF DRM Security has set out to overcome challenges and problems facing the other common PDF document security systems providers. A number of these challenges are discussed in detail below:
Password protection
These systems need the publishers to send the passwords to their users in order to authorise the use of the documents. These passwords can be given away to unauthorized people (and anyway remember that there are cracking tools and password recovery software for revealing and removing most passwords).
LockLizard PDF DRM Security tackles this issue through linking the relationship between the publisher and the end user. Authentication is based on authorization when a document is opened. Therefore, no keys/passwords go with the document or to the ...
... user.
The problems of plug-ins and plug-outs
A plug-in is code that is given access to internal information and interfaces in another application. It also gets special rights. But plug-ins may interact and conflict with each other, and hackers may use them to circumvent even normal system security to gain access.
Plug-outs on the other hand tend to be resistant to change. Any slight change to their parameters may scramble the whole security system rendering it useless.
For these reasons, LockLizard PDF DRM Security has a PDF DRM viewer using the Foxit software library, which eliminates the need for plug-ins and plug-outs.
Issues with ‘Zero footprint' solutions
This is similar to the password protected documents in that the decryption key must be sent along with the protected PDF document. The password can easily be deciphered, stolen or removed leaving the document unprotected.
Controlling printing
The market has several PDF security and PDF DRM providers who do not protect PDF documents as much as they should. This is particularly related to controls when printing PDF documents. Allowing printing introduces a risk where a printout may be used to convert back into a PDF document.
To counter this, LockLizard PDF DRM Security provides watermarking technology which is both static and dynamic. This technology ensures that any printed PDF document has the identification information of the person who printed the article. Such information will help the legal author of the document prosecute to prevent further distribution of the document.

Ease of use
After the first online authentication of a user, subsequent use of the document is possible offline. LockLizard PDF DRM Security software is installed on the user's computer. Once installed, there is no need for passwords or codes since the software uses the license issued by the publisher to authenticate the user and documents. This is all the software needs as subsequent authentication and monitoring are done internally by the software system.
