Drumlin PDF Security Service Sets New Standard



Drumlin Security (http://www.drumlinsecurity.co.uk) today announced significant enhancements to its high-security Drumlin PDF reader/publisher and associated digital rights management (DRM) service. New facilities include Apple Mac support, Multi-language operation, Secure watermarking and a range of new secure distribution and Licensing options. The Drumlin service has a zero entry cost and includes its free or licensed Drumlin PDF reader/publisher coupled with a very competitively priced digital rights management (DRM) service.



The Drumlin software and service ensures that PDF versions of documents such as books, market research reports, technical manuals, courseware, subscription newsletters, financial statements, contracts and similar materials can be distributed with complete safety. The fully secured version of PDFs created using the Drumlin software can be placed on a web site, CD or emailed to a user or customer without concern that they might be intercepted, read, decrypted or copied.



"Secure watermarking" enables publishers to add an invisible watermark to their documents that is only enabled when the document is printed. The watermark can identify the details of the person printing the document, the computer on which it has been printed and the date and time of printing.



"Apple Mac" support is provide via a special variant of the standard software which will run on the many Mac Windows emulators - see the Drumlin Apple Mac support page: www.drumlinsecurity.co.uk/applemac.html for more details



The "reader" features in the Drumlin PDF reader/publisher provide a full-functionality viewer for PDFs and secured PDFs. Its PDF handling is built upon the market-leading PDF software development library PDFNet SDK from PDFTron Systems Inc. (http://www.pdftron.com) which supports all existing levels of PDF. Javascript and attached objects are disabled, ensuring that the Drumlin reader is not at risk from the widely reported problems of viruses associated with some other PDF readers.



The "publisher" facility in the Drumlin PDF reader/publisher strongly encrypts conventional PDF files with the option to ensure that they can only be read once they have been authorized. Even then, these files can only be opened on the individual PC on which they have been authorized - such files cannot be copied and read elsewhere. Drumlin's publisher facility enables many controls to be applied to such documents, such as enabling or disabling text copy facilities; setting start and end dates for viewing; and specifying the number of times a document may be viewed, and the number of times it may be printed (if at all).



The "authorization" facility within the Drumlin PDF reader enables the recipient of a secured PDF to open the document. They enter an alphanumeric authorization code supplied to them by the publisher of the secured PDF, which is checked against the records on the central Drumlin DRM service. If all is OK the file is decrypted, saved on disk as a new encrypted file and the user can view and optionally print this file according to the settings the publisher has made. Facilities are also available for pre-authorization of secure PDFs, enabling files to be distributed and opened immediately by the intended recipients
