LockLizard protects PDF documents from IPR theft 
(24/07/2007)
With the release of Safeguard 2.6, LockLizard protects PDF documents with enhanced technical controls that resist all current PC based screen grabbers, stopping one of the commonest methods of IPR theft in its tracks.
Additional new features in version 2.6 of Lizard Safeguard include a new Writer GUI, the ability to change the account password and new server administrative functions to change the number of prints/views allowed after a document has been published. Safeguard Viewer has also been updated with a slicker interface and additional installation options for corporate users.
Lizard Safeguard provides PDF document security with Digital Rights Management (DRM) controls and US Government strength AES 256 bit encryption. It protects PDF documents from copying, modifying, saving and distribution.
In addition the IPR owner can control whether users can print protected PDF documents, and if so, how many times. Controls check how documents are used, by whom, for how long, and what can be done with them.
"There is a real requirement to prevent screen grabbing, but we recognize that there are genuine reasons to have screen grabbing tools," says Trevor Mathews, Chairman of LockLizard, "so our technology has been developed to prevent grabbing content that only we have protected. The technology is not invasive and does not affect any other programs or the operating system. It takes the protection that we can offer to a significantly higher level than any of our competitors, some of whom are still unable to prevent simple copy and paste or who just protect against Windows print screen."
Lizard Safeguard costs $2,495 for entry level PDF document protection.
