PDF SECURITY WITH PDF DRM CONTROLS
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)
You decide: - when documents expire (if at all)
- if documents should be revoked
- if user accounts expire
- whether watermarks should be applied to viewed and/or printed documents
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.
PDF SECURITY FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION
Lizard Safeguard PDF Security protects your PDF documents and safeguards your company’s intellectual property (trade secrets, research papers and reports, etc.) and revenue streams. It enables you to control distribution, reach new markets, and effortlessly gain additional revenues. Strong PDF encryption (US Government strength) and PDF DRM (Digital Rights Management) controls ensure complete PDF document security.
Lizard Safeguard PDF Security protects your PDF documents no matter where they reside, enforces the security policy governing their use, and allows you to dynamically change how that information is accessed at any time even after distribution.

TOTAL PDF DOCUMENT SECURITY
Lizard Safeguard PDF Security ensures the best security for your PDF files with strong PDF copy protection.
Your secure PDF documents are locked to individual computers and cannot be shared. Unlike weak and unmanageable password mechanisms Lizard Safeguard PDF Security uses public key technology with strong AES 256 bit encryption, DRM (digital rights management) controls, and a real-time web based licensing system. There are no passwords to send, enter, manage, forget, or pass onto others.
You create secure PDF documents on your own computer. The source (unprotected) PDF files are never exposed to a web server where they could be easily compromized.
 10 things you really wished you had known about PDF DRM, but they didn’t tell you!
PDF Watermarks, including dynamic system variables (user name, company name, date/time, etc.), and custom text and images, can be displayed on printed and or viewed documents to reduce piracy and enforce accountability.
To stop your PDF content being readily stolen whilst displayed on screen, the use of Windows print screen and screen grabber applications are prevented whilst the secure PDF viewer is running.
SECURE PDF VIEWER FOR COMPLETE PDF CONTROL
Lizard Safeguard PDF Security uses its own decryption application, a secure PDF viewer, rather than relying on a plug-in to present your secure PDF documents. Protected PDF documents are decrypted in the secure viewer software which applies the necessary DRM controls and ensures your PDF content cannot be compromised by other applications, javascript, or the common Adobe PDF security flaws and cracks.
Your security is not compromised by plug-in failures or conflicts. In fact, we think that plug-ins are potentially so insecure that we prevent them from loading so they can't compromise security. See Adobe PDF plug-in vulnerabilities
Read this pdf security article published by Bryan Guignard, an Adobe Certified expert on why we don't use Adobe's implementation / Adobe plug-in for protection of your PDF documents.
Protected PDF documents are decrypted on-the-fly in memory. They are never saved to disk in temporary format or to the Windows swap file. We do not create extra files on disk that can be copied to another computer along with the protected PDF files so they can be easily shared and viewed.

PDF ENCRYPTION THAT IS EASY TO USE
To protect your PDF documents, right click on them in Windows Explorer and select the secure PDF document access rights.

Dynamic document control maintains access rights and permissions assigned to a secure PDF document once it has been published and distributed.
A simple to use web-based administration system lets you control access to your secure PDF documents, and you can revoke document access in real-time even after distribution.
Use of publications ensures minimum administration overheads and enables you to effortlessly manage your customer base.
PDF batch encryption enables you to effortlessly batch protect PDF documents without user intervention. See optional pdf command line processing

AUTOMATED PDF DOCUMENT PROTECTION & ECOMMERCE INTEGRATION
ECOMMERCE INTEGRATION
Lizard Safeguard PDF Security e-commerce integration module works with your existing ecommerce system to help provide 24x7 delivery of your protected information.
On successful purchase, customer information is automatically entered into the administration system (without the need for manual input) and license files are emailed to your customers so they can start using your protected PDF documents straight away.
PDF COMMAND LINE BATCH ENCRYPTION
Multiple PDF documents can be protected and DRM controls applied automatically (without manual input or user intervention) using our secure PDF command line protection utility.
This also provides quick and simple integration into your existing web based applications (where PDF encryption is required on-the-fly) without the need to use an API.
