Lizard Safeguard PDF Security is for publishers of high value or confidential information published in PDF format, whether for sale to the public or internal control and protection, where a higher degree of security and control is required – beyond simple pdf password protection. There are no passwords for you to send, or for users to enter, manage, forget, or pass onto others.
Control who views and prints your secure PDF documents – where, when, how many times, and for how long (days, months, years or forever). Lizard Safeguard PDF Security protects your PDF documents from unauthorized:
- viewing (including how many times)
- copying
- sharing
- modifying
- saving
- printing (including how many times)
- printing to file, PDF, or image printers
- screen grabbing (print screen and third party screen grabbers)
Instantly revoke documents if you no longer want users to have access to them, and prevent your protected PDF content from being readily pirated by stopping screen shots from being taken. Enforce document retention periods and policies, ensuring that documents are inaccessible when their valid life finishes.
Use watermarking as a copying deterrent. Lizard Safeguard PDF Security supports a wide variety of watermark techniques to help deter piracy particularly where printed copies must be made available. System and user information can be dynamically displayed on any protected document without you having to protect the document on a per user basis. Unlike standard PDF watermarks which can be easily removed – see Removing PDF Watermarks, LockLizard watermarks are always imposed.
Enforce your corporate branding. You can require PDFs to open in particular formats, and can prevent users from being able to change to another style of presentation. This allows you to enforce your own house style and appearance.
