A new feature, PdfSecureSender, aims to make it easy for developers to include a “secured by” signature in their PDF documents. PdfSecureSender will be a library providing functionality for securely exchanging PDF content, such as signatures, on the Open Web Platform. For example, developers can create Secure Web Services, which enables secure communication between users' browsers and servers using SSL/TLS, as well as secure communication between the user's system and browser. On the mobile side, a PdfSecureSender implementation will provide features and capabilities similar to those found on Web browsers, as well as offering features that may be applicable on the local area network. There is also another new feature in this release — a new feature, a secure API for accessing encrypted files across the Web. This “Cryptozoic API” enables developers to integrate with open-source encrypted file utilities to perform secure operations, like unlocking encrypted files by changing the password or password-protected pages.. What are these features/functions? Use secure PDF files for presentations, surveys and e-mail messages
Use secure PDF files for presentations. Enforce PDF password security
Password-protect a user's secure PDF files, giving the user the ability to change them or revoke their password and keeping all the information safe. In case of an error the user gets notified using an internal error notification mechanism or if the user's system is locked by the administrator or if an unexpected error occurs for some other reason.. Download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to create and edit PDFs, or pay a modest subscription fee to add rich content, PDF documents, PDF presentations, and unlimited PDF templates. Plus, you can automatically convert your uploaded documents to Word and/or PDF with our Paper Convertor, which integrates with popular PDF-editing software such as Adobe Bridge, Pacemaker, Apple Pages and Keynote. Whether you need to convert scanned, printed, handwritten, PDF to Postscript, PDF to Microsoft Word, or PDF to Adobe Illustrator, you'll make your digital files more efficient, more productive, and most importantly — more easy to view.
