Certified documents
Communicating critical information to a broad audience presents real problems with real consequences. Phishing, identity theft, and document forgeries have eroded customer trust in electronic communications. Certifying that documents are legitimate and tamper-proof allows trustworthy online transactions and more secure communications across and beyond the enterprise.
With Adobe Certified Document Services (CDS), enterprises can send documents and forms to recipients with the added assurance that the communication is genuine. CDS solutions empower the enterprise and consumers to confidently conduct e-business.
Using certified documents is easy
With a public key infrastructure (PKI) in place, Adobe® Acrobat® Professional and Standard software (version 6.0 or later) makes it easy to use certified documents. Simply:
- Convert to Adobe PDF — Begin with a trusted format.
- Set security control — Choose policy options ranging from editing restrictions to encryption.
- Certify — Choose options permitting recipients access to the document.
Then distribute your document with confidence.
