- Anil G., System Administrator

"We used to run Acrobat in batch mode to encrypt PDFs, but could only apply a single password. With APCrypt, we assign individual passwords to each PDF file straight from the user-accounts database, making it easy to deploy individual order-forms to each of our sales reps." - Alex M., VP, North American Sales |
APCrypt is a server-based component that encrypts PDF files with 128 or 256-bit AES security; all the standard password-based mechanisms available to Adobe Acrobat.
Use APCrypt to ensure no one changes the content of PDF files, or may copy text or images from within it. Password-protect files to ensure that only the people you authorize can see or edit the contents.
Optionally, encrypt PDF and non PDF file attachments for secure delivery within PDF "envelopes".
Security Features
- Apply 128-bit AES or 256-bit AES encryption to PDF documents; the latest and most secure Adobe Acrobat standard encryption mechanism NEW in 4.0
- Utilize PDFs as secure envelopes; apply 256-bit AES security to PDF and non-PDF file attachments while leaving the PDF itself unencrypted NEW in 4.0
- Apply backwards-compatible 40-bit or 128-bit RC4 encryption to support older versions of Acrobat or Reader
- Set a user password to control who may view, print, or modify a document, and an owner password to control who may change security settings
- With an owner password, dynamically remove encryption settings from your documents, enabling users to change previously encrypted files or apply new encryption settings
File Management Features
- Optionally, retain current file modification date NEW in 4.0
- Utilize PDF as a secure delivery envelope for attached files NEW in 4.0
- Linearize output PDFs for faster viewing when downloaded from the Web or a network
- Consistent with Title 1 of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, Appligent Document Solutions software will only permit the modification of encrypted documents when the owner password is supplied
Adobe PDF Library-Powered Features NEW in 4.0!
All Adobe PDF Library powered Appligent Document Solutions software includes unique features:
For document optimization, use -optimize. Leveraging Adobe's unique investment in PDF engineering, this flag performs a variety of completely safe optimization and cleanup routines, reducing file-size in most instances.
To maximize compression, use -comp. This flag applies Adobe Systems' object level compression in addition to other compression mechanisms (limits compatibility to Acrobat 6 or higher).
To ensure compatibility with all versions of Acrobat/Reader, use, -nocomp. This flag will remove object level compression, ensuring compatibility with all versions of Acrobat.
To create an ISO 32000 compliant PDF, use -iso32000. This flag sets the output file version for ISO 32000 compliance (Adobe PDF version 1.7).
See the APCrypt readme for more information.
