Document Security Use Cases
Validate who created or signed a document with digital signatures that use hashing algorithms and public key infrastructure (PKI) to control non-repudiation, document integrity, and authentication.
Protect sensitive data in documents while ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory standards by implementing server-based, on-demand encryption and decryption of PDFs.
Securely track all file changes and comments, manage user access, and batch process PDFs to apply uniform security and permission settings across large volumes of documents.

DOCUMENT SECURITY FAQS
Linearization can greatly improve a PDF's loading time by optimizing the document for 'Fast Web View' capability and faster downloading.
PDFSecure, a library component of Apryse SDK, has the following support functions for document security programming:
- Support for Standard PDF security handler (40 and 128 bit RC4 encryption)
- Support for 128 and 256 bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption
- Support for custom security handlers
- Support for Crypt encryption filters
- Support for all PDF formats (PDF 1.0 to ISO32000) and Acrobat documents.
PDFSecure is a fully independent application that operates without any third-party components or software dependencies.
The main distinction between the two components is that PDFSecure is a specialized tool for adding, removing, or changing security settings, whereas PDF SDK is a general purpose Software Development Toolkit (SDK) that can be used to implement any type of manipulation on PDF documents (including security changes) as well as other types of PDF functionality.
PDFSecure supports Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.
