Secure Documents for PDF enables you to control the four most important aspects of your information:

Access: You decide who reads your document and when they can read it. Even after it's sent, you can change the expiration date or selectively expire one group of users while allowing continued access by another. Secure Documents for PDF lets you set multiple viewing policies for a single document with page-level granularity.

Use: You decide what recipients do with the information. Secure Documents for PDF's printing feature enables you to prohibit the printing of any document or portion of a document. If printing privileges are granted, a watermark can be placed on any or all pages. You can also prevent someone from forwarding a document by blocking the "Copy/Paste" and "Save as" functions.

Security: Secure Documents for PDF encrypts each page within a document and then registers the keys for accessing these pages with the Recall server. This means that wherever the document is located, the information within the document is tamper-proof and protected.

Tracking: Secure Documents for PDF lets you track document activity to see which pages were viewed, by whom, when, from where, and for how long. Secure Documents for PDF's audit trail even includes a list of those who are denied access, so you can track who is trying to access information without your authorization. In addition, tracking provides confirmation of document delivery and lets you see what pages have been read or printed.

How Secure Documents for PDF Works
As a document author, you create a policy that determines how any one individual or group may access or use the document. These policies are stored on a Recall Server and can be changed at a moment's notice, even after the document has been sent. With Secure Documents for PDF, it takes only a few keystrokes to turn a document, such as a Microsoft® Word®, Excel®, or PowerPoint® file, into a Secure Documents for PDF-protected PDF document. Secure Documents for PDF encrypts each individual page and then registers the decryption keys and policies with the Recall Server.

When an authorized user attempts to open the document, a dialogue box opens, asking for a user name, password or digital certificate. The user's computer then connects to the document author's Recall server and provides an electronic key that allows the document to be opened. The Recall server only provides keys to authorized users and only as directed by the established policies.
