Foxit serves up SharePoint PDF security

June 5, 2009:Foxit has launched a new Security Suite for PDF documents residing in Microsoft Windows Server Systems and Sharepoint Services

It extends Microsoft Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) protection to the PDF file format. Foxit claims that PDF files typically represent 20% of information held in enterprise IT environments.

“We think customers will also benefit from new features that allow selective enablement of PDF functionality like off-line forms fill-in, editing, and document annotation to enable cost-effective digital workflows using existing PDF documents,” said Eugene Xiong, CEO of Foxit Software.

A beta release of Foxit PDF Security Suite is available at www.foxitsoftware.com/rms.
