Safeguard Web Publisher is an add-on for Locklizard Safeguard PDF Security that allows organizations to securely publish protected PDF documents (PDC files) to the web. These documents can be accessed and viewed by authorized users directly in a browser using Safeguard Web Viewer, eliminating the need for any client-side software installation. The solution supports centralized access control, instant document/user revocation, and ensures that protected documents are only ever decrypted in memory, never as unprotected files on disk or in the cloud.
