Document Protection

Dialog for encryption of the document

PDF Document Protection with SmartShelter
After the installation of the SmartShelter plug-in a new menu “Save SmartShelter encrypted PDF document“ appears in Adobe Acrobat, to define the encryption parameters of the document. The parameters are used for generating a unique access code 32 characters in length, based on the document ID. After that, the document can be accessed only with the suitable CmStick or WibuBox, programmed for document protection.

Individual PDF Rights
In addition individual rights may be assigned to modify or print the document. Finally an owner pass code will be generated, which prevents other readers from erasing a document`s pass code after opening.

Batch Processing Capability
SmartShelter | PDF integrates batch processing capability for Adobe Acrobat. For that purpose a new command Encrypt multiple files is available. This command, used in batch processing, permits the presetting of all CodeMeter parameters to produce the encrypted documents. Therefore it is possible to encrypt all PDF documents in a directory or to automatically convert and encrypt Microsoft Word documents in a single step.

The Adobe Acrobat Reader opens the PDF document as usual. After detecting a CmStick with the suitable license code entry, the document will be opened. If the correct CmStick is missing, the password dialog pops up and requests that a password be entered manually.
