Industry Focus: Engineering & Manufacturing
Dealing with design specification documents, parts lists, and repair manuals is a considerable part of any engineering enterprise that works with large and complex machinery such as diggers, aircraft, automobiles, etc. Engineers have to make sure these documents are always up to date; otherwise, they are useless or even dangerous. They also have to make sure that these documents are only accessible by the right parties, such as authorized dealers and distributors.
As the world shifted from the physical distribution of these documents to their electronic counterparts, it can be easy for malicious third parties to get a hold of these documents and start using them to provide unapproved services or even design competing products. This can cost an enterprise millions of dollars in loss of earnings and company secrets.
Fortunately, All-About-PDF's DRM for PDF documents solves this problem in the following ways:
Add an expiry date to any PDF so that once the expiry date has lapsed, the file can no longer be accessed.
Prevent screen grabs of the PDF so that end users cannot capture high-quality images of the document
Control the number of times the document can be printed (if at all)
Lock the file so that it can only be viewed from specific geolocation, IP address, or by email address/password combination
Remotely grant and revoke access to your engineering documents.
With All-About-PDF's DRM, you can share your engineering documents with the peace of mind that they will only be accessible by the right people.
