  • Technology:
  • PDF format is the best document format for long-term digital archival. Often software becomes obsolete, rendering some documents unreadable by current technology. Widely published formats, such as PDF, are more future proof that proprietary formats such as MS Word. In 50 years time, even if PDF's are not used anymore, all you need is the PDF specification and you can have a viewer developed to read your documents.
  • Searchable:
  • PDF has the ability to store text in a searchable form.
  • Browsers:
  • PDF files can be viewed within Netscape and Internet Explorer. These files can then be saved for off-line use or printed. This makes for easy use within an intranet or website.
  • Colour and Size:
  • PDF files enable sharp, colour-precise printing on most printers with precise onscreen colour match regardless of monitor brand. Users can magnify documents up to 800% without the loss of clarity in text or graphics. PDF files can be optimized and are often smaller than conventional document formats.
  • There are many reasons why you would want to use PDF encryption. The information in the PDF document is confidential and only a restricted number of people should be able to see it. This could include training courses, price lists, bid documents, takeover plans, healthcare records, and so on. The information is valuable – you sell it – perhaps a newsletter, or an analyst's report, or a consulting report or a periodical or a book. You obviously don't want to give it away!
  • If you don't encrypt the PDF file then anyone can read it and the value of your information is lost. But if you are going to encrypt PDF files you need to select a package using a reliable encryption method. ,
  • Well, you should use PDF encryption software that uses US Government strength encryption (and is not password based – read PDF password protection to see why). The US government has approved an algorithm called AES for protecting US government information that is confidential. It has two key lengths, 128 bit and 256 bit (16 or 32 bytes of data). You will see many other algorithms proposed in many products, but they do not have the recommendation of the US government to back up their claims.
  • Download PDF encryption software that uses AES 256 bit encryption and digital rights management controls and does not rely on passwords to encrypt PDF files. You control if your encrypted PDF documents can be copied, shared and printed (and how many times) and when they expire (if ever).
