Encrypt and control access to PDF files
FileOpen's flexible and modular PDF encryption API lets you integrate document security and user authentication into your existing workflow. Prevent unwanted sharing, set expiration dates, apply dynamic watermarks, control printing, and more. Link encryption processes and user permissioning with your current databases and identity management systems.
Adding DRM to your documents shouldn't require huge licensing fees and a lock-in to one document platform. As a licensed Adobe Security Partner, FileOpen's PDF Encryption API lets you encrypt Adobe PDF files for viewing in their native applications (Adobe Reader and Acrobat), as well as web browsers and third-party viewers. FileOpen's Encryption API also supports Microsoft Office documents in their native viewing applications, with markup/review features preserved.
FileOpen is a long-term trusted partner for IHS to deliver leading solutions for DRM that support our customers and content partners."

Industry standard, enterprise-grade encryption that is much stronger than the password protection offered by Adobe Acrobat* or Microsoft Office. Encryption keys are never stored inside the document file.
Authorize document access based on a user's existing login credentials or active session instead of forcing them to enter additional passwords. Support BYOD and access from multiple devices.
Expire, extend or revoke access even after document delivery. Set unique permission sets for different groups of users and or/documents that you can change at any time from your web-based admin dashboard.
Restrict printing according to user privileges, time period, page range, and/or specific printer hardware. Apply customizable user-identifying watermarks to track printed copies back to their source.
Support users on smartphones and tablets running iOS and Android with seamless authentication. Easily add or revoke additional devices to a user's permissions from your admin dashboard. Support offline access for limited periods.
Integrate FileOpen DRM into your existing workflow with our API and Encryption Library. Files you encrypt with FileOpen DRM are fully PDF-spec compliant and licensed to open in the standard Adobe Reader and Acrobat applications.
