Appendix Q: The PDF Security module

The PDF Security module of InterForm400 is installed with InterForm400 and can be enabled if you insert the correct license code.

It opens up for the possibility to:

•Encrypt PDF files created by InterForm400

•Encrypt already existing PDF files (created by InterForm400) with the command APF3812/ENCIFPDF.

•Password protect PDF files created earlier by InterForm400

•Password protect the new PDF files (when created)

•Digitally sign the created PDF files

This is possible for all ways of creating PDF file in InterForm400 except through option '3. Merge spool entry with overlay' of the InterForm400 Main Menu.

You mainly encrypt the PDF file in order to prevent a third party froim reading confidential information and you digitally sign a PDF file (with a certificate) so that the receiver can be certain, that you have created the file and that it has not been altered by anyone else.

A example of how to encrypt a PDF file and/or sign the file with a certificate can be found on page 203.
