These are the products we offer for PDF security (encryption, decryption, digital signatures).

APCrypt   SecurSign


This page contains information about programmer's libraries/toolkits that allow a programmer to handle the following tasks dynamically:
  • use a password to encrypt existing PDF documents

  • use a password to decrypt existing PDF documents

  • use a password to create new encrypted PDF documents

  • sign PDF documents electronically to assure their authenticity.
Note that many of these libraries/toolkits run on a variety of platforms, including AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows NT/2000/XP.

By integrating these libraries/toolkits with our server-based PDF-merging/stamping/form-filling solutions, you can build an automated, production-quality variable-data-publishing system that generates secured documents!


Encryption

The libraries/toolkits described here support standard Adobe Acrobat security technology, which allows you to create a PDF file that requires a password to do high-resolution printing OR to do any printing OR to modify text and graphics OR to select text and graphics OR to add or change notes and form fields OR to fill or sign form fields OR to use accessibility options OR to do document assembly.

When using one of the software products described here to apply encryption to a PDF file, you specify a password (or, depending on which encryption parameters you're using, you might need to specify two different passwords: an "owner password" and a "user password"). You also specify which of the tasks listed above should be restricted.

Then, when you make the encrypted PDF file available to others, you only give the required password(s) to people that should be allowed to perform the restricted tasks that you specified when you encrypted the file. Or, if you want to secure your PDF file so that nobody can perform the restricted tasks, you simply keep the password(s) to yourself.


Decryption

If you know the owner password that was used when encryption was applied to a particular PDF file, you can use one of the solutions described here to decrypt the file. Decrypting it removes the password protection.
