How to create and manage PDF security with Power PDF Historically, the only way to protect PDFs has been to lock them with a password. While this is sufficient in some settings, it is not enough for industries that need to maintain the highest degree of security. Kofax Power PDF allows you to take a simple password approach or to use a more robust means of managing your PDF security. When your team needs to share a document with a client or colleague that contains sensitive information, Power PDF’s permanent redaction feature is the right PDF security tool. This information may include PII, PHI or financial data on an individual. The PDF software allows a user to  search for exact terms, or patterns, and then apply a permanent mark over the text so that it is permanently removed from the document. Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Azure each  offer comprehensive security features. These features ensure that only the right people have access to your files. Power PDF integrates with these security features to help protect your documents seamlessly. When your team works with the most sensitive documents, take advantage of the robust network security services that you already have in place to improve your PDF security as well.   The Step-by-Step Guide to Permanently Redacting Sensitive Information from PDFs Similar to how easy it is to edit PDFs or securely print them, Power PDF keeps the process simple to permanently remove sensitive information from your documents. Open the PDF you want to protect. Select “Search and Redact” under the “Security” tool group on the home Ribbon. Choose whether you want to find a single word or phrase, multiple words or phrases, or if you’d like to search for a pattern, such as a phone number or e-mail address. Enter the search term or pattern and click “Search”. Results of the search will be displayed, and you can select which of those results you’d like to Mark for Redaction. To complete the permanent redaction, click “Apply Redactions”. In little more than a few clicks, you’ve permanently removed sensitive information from your PDF. Now, your documents can be opened, viewed, and edited by authorized users without the risk that information is leaked.   Maintaining pdf security when it matters most Sensitive information requires careful management. When it comes to your patients’ medical files, legal matters, or governmental secrets, security is essential. In the past, businesses and government agencies have failed to properly control the flow of information by making simple errors regarding PDF security. With Power PDF, you can avoid those errors and protect your information. Avoid the misuse of PDFs that contain sensitive information by utilizing a PDF security tool that fully and permanently removes data through the use of true redaction. As computer security has advanced, it makes sense to extend those new protections to your PDF security.

How to create an e-signature with Kofax Power PDF   Modern organizations need the perfect blend of speed and security when completing business transactions. Just as in the past, you may operate under the assumption that you still need hand-signed documents from your clients and team members. In many cases, you can use digital versions of these documents, but require a PDF editor that empowers you to produce handwritten signatures that are backed by a certified digital identity. Kofax Power PDF puts the technology in your hands to place those signatures directly on the PDFs electronically.   The Step-by-Step Process to Create E-Signatures When your team has access to Power PDF’s advanced software, it’s easy for them to make real signatures directly into the documents: Select the PDF document you’d like to sign Choose the “Handwritten Signature: Place” option under the “Security” section of the Ribbon. If you have used this feature before, it will use the signature you’ve already provided. Otherwise, you will need to draw your signature in the “Add Handwritten Signature” box. Use your cursor to draw your signature. We recommend using a touch-enabled Microsoft Windows 10 device, such as the Surface, to produce the most natural signature. Name your signature in the “Save as signature:” box, then click OK. The cursor changes to a plus sign, which you can then use to outline where you’d like your signature to show up on the document. Click “Complete” to place your signature securely in the document. Once you’ve completed these steps, you can easily place your signature anywhere in any document that you need to sign.   Secure Signatures for Your Business’s Needs Power PDF puts the power in your team’s hands. You can arrange a license to allow all of your employees to use the program concurrently. Thus, your team can produce high-quality results in record time, not only with secure document signatures but with editing and file conversion as well. Your team can share easily these documents on a secure cloud from a connector in Power PDF so that only selected people have access to the information. The simpler it is to work with PDFs, the more swiftly your team can produce the results that your business requires. Power PDF also encourages sustainability by fostering a business environment of material efficiency. With swift and secure digital signatures, you reduce the need for numerous copies of documents that each require signatures. Further, you can ensure that each document is 100% accurate before printing.    Power pdf: an asset for regulated industries Experience the benefits of Power PDF in multiple industries.
