Mergers & Acquisitions

Almost every document in an M&A deal is a PDF: financial statements, due diligence reports, letters of intent and purchase agreements.

These files pass between buyers, sellers, advisors and lawyers, often before the deal is public. One leaked document can break an NDA or derail negotiations.

Password-protected files and secure data rooms only go so far. Once someone downloads a document, they can forward it, print it or keep it long after the deal has closed or fallen through.

All-About-PDF’s PDF DRM solves this. With DRM, you can ensure that your deal documents are:

  • protected with strong 256-bit encryption

  • opened only by approved recipients after email and password verification

  • locked to specific devices so they cannot be passed on

  • set to expire on a date you choose, so they stop opening when the deal ends

  • revocable at any time, even after they have been sent

Preparing documents is the other bottleneck. All-About-PDF can redact sensitive details or find and replace text, such as project code names, across thousands of files in a single go.

You can also merge documents into review packs, stamp “Confidential” watermarks, and compare two versions of an agreement to spot every change.

With security and document preparation in one application, your deal team spends less time handling paperwork and more time on the deal.
