Nuance Communications, Inc., a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions, today announced PDF Converter Pro Legal, a new version of the best-selling alternative to Adobe Acrobat that significantly strengthens content security when sharing PDF documents
The product enables users to redact sensitive information from PDF documents, a capability important in legal, intelligence, homeland defense, and corporate environments. PDF Converter Pro Legal delivers all of the features that users require - PDF creation, conversion, editing and form filling, and now PDF redaction capabilities - for one-third the cost of Adobe Acrobat Professional.
Redaction, or the selective and permanent removal of information from a document, has been a mainstay in legal, intelligence, defense and security organizations for decades, and more recently within corporate environments, where finance, human resources and other departments regularly deal with sensitive information. While documents have traditionally been redacted as paper, with sections of text blotted out with the use of a black marker, recently organizations have looked to PDF to more easily share their redacted documents. And while PDF makes it easy to share same-as-paper documents online, the format can also make it easy to mistakenly leave hidden text in a PDF document, even if it is not readable on the screen.
"PDF has been established as a standard format for sharing documents, but it can create a false sense of security if the appropriate redaction and security measures are not taken, resulting in the inadvertent release of sensitive information,"Â said Robert Weideman, general manager and senior vice president, Productivity Applications, Nuance. "With the new PDF Converter Pro Legal, we put trusted PDF redaction at everyone's fingertips, delivering secure technology that has been proven to work within leading legal, military and intelligence organizations where security is simply a must."Â
Nuance has teamed with Appligent, the established leader in PDF redaction, to add redaction, bates stamping and security capabilities to PDF Converter Pro Legal , delivering enhanced document security and peace of mind to anyone concerned with the security of sensitive documents.
Users can easily prepare a document for redaction using familiar tools, share the document with others for confirmation, and then instantly redact selected portions. The product creates a duplicate copy of the original PDF, but with all traces of redacted text safely and securely removed from the new PDF copy - Nuance.
