Prevent printing from PDF documents with LockLizard Safeguard PDF Security Software

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 29, 2011 -- If your PDF documents can be printed then it also means that the copies made can be readily scanned or photocopied and then shared with unauthorized users. PDF document publishers are therefore looking for ways to disable print functions in document management systems so that their documents cannot be viewed or accessed by unauthorized parties.

Well, preventing printing from PDF documents can be achieved by using a document security system that disables the print function. However, genuine printing needs do arise regularly and for such circumstances it is desirable that printing is not absolutely stopped but controlled i.e. only a predetermined number of copies can be made and that printing to file drivers is inhibited otherwise it would allow for the blatant reproduction of any number of high quality prints.

LockLizard’s Safeguard PDF security is the software to go for if you are concerned about PDF printing issues. With Safeguard you can disable print by leaving its “allow printing” checkbox unchecked; it also seeks to provide a more refined approach to stop printing from PDF whilst discouraging users from sharing those prints. This is achieved by watermarking the printouts so as to not only identify the owner of the document but also the details of the person carrying out the printing.

Though this does not stop printing totally, to some degree it is an effective measure as it discourages other people from making copies of the print as in doing so they will be exposing the person who initially disregarded the document control measures. It will also discourage printouts from being scanned and then converted to text thus readying them for republishing as ordinary documents.

Other print-related capabilities that LockLizard provides include limiting the number of printouts, stopping document access after a preset print limit is reached, and disable print to file and PDF drivers. Nonetheless, it must be understood and remembered that there is a marked difference between the absolute prevention of printing from PDF documents and inhibiting it as a measure against unidentified printing, and LockLizard offers you both these capabilities in a single comprehensive package. LockLizard can also help to disable print of html pages and SWF flash files through the LockLizard Protector and LockLizard Flashguard software suites respectively.
