A word on privacy and security in our web based pdf viewer.

13 January 2014

In light of the details that has surfaced around how NSA operates, we feel the need to comment on how this possibly affects FlexPaper and the way our software works. 

Staying in control over how our clients choose to distribute their PDF documents has always been a priority for us. We believe that you and only you should decide how and where your pdf documents are distributed and who has access to them. As a consequence, all our components run independently on your own server and desktop. None of our (or any other external) servers are involved in the publishing process. This means that you can take FlexPaper with you and perform work regardless of if you’re in a offline or online environment and you are not depending on any of our servers being online in order for your content to be available to your visitors. None of your content is available online unless you decide to upload them to a server of your choice. 

FlexPaper desktop publisher also has the ability to protect your content by encrypting the original PDF and adding signing functionality around the published files. Desktop Publisher provides you with full access to the PHP files used to protect the content. This means that you can add your own checks and controls to decide who gets to access and view a certain publication. To access this functionality, simply expand the “Advanced Settings” part of the publishing dialog. Don’t have desktop publisher installed yet? Download it and add page turn effects and mobile support to your PDF documents in a whiff!
