How to protect a PDF securely

in Blog, Document Security, DRM, PDF Security

Why Adobe PDF password protection is useless & secure DRM alternatives.

PDFs were created to be highly shareable, and they have succeeded in that mission.  Adobe estimates that billions of PDF files are created each day, with many of them shared via email, uploaded to a cloud storage service, or sent via a workplace chat app.  What PDFs have not succeeded in, however, is security.  In their default form (and when password protected), the contents of a PDF file can easily be read, modified, copied, and stolen.  Today, we’ll show you how to protect a PDF to mitigate this risk.

in Blog, Document Security, DRM, PDF Security

How to change PDF security settings retroactively to expire & limit distributed documents.

In this blog we’re going to discuss why the PDF solutions currently on the market aren’t able to modify the security of PDF files that have already been sent or distributed, and how you can use Safeguard PDF Security to change the expiry date, validity, number of prints, number of views, and more.
