Drumlin Secure PDF Publishing and PDF Reading - Main Features
- Create .DRMX files (encrypted PDF files) from source .PDF files - extremely secure encryption system, with file access authorization via central Digital Rights Management (DRM) control - details of the security model and background to the local, central and communications security system used are available to corporate customer security departments on a confidential basis - see Permission settings, below, for more details
- Create .DRMZ files (encapsulated PDF files) from source .PDF files - secure encapsulation system, for iPAD files, with file access authorization via central Digital Rights Management (DRM) control - initially only available as a service from Drumlin Security Ltd
- Create .DRM files (encrypted PDFs with additional controls but not requiring authorization). User-specific DRMs can also be created via the User Lists facility enabling DRMs to be sent to users and not require an authorization process (effectively these are pre-authorized for one or more users)
- Create "Javelin Click and Go" EXE files from DRMX files: 3 variants (i) online (DRM) authorized; (ii) offline authorized; (ii) no authorized, just "click and go"
- Permission settings:
- Start and end dates for document opening
