What is a secure PDF?

In an effort to protect their intellectual property and enforce existing copyright laws, many Standards Developing Organizations have required all distributors of their content to implement a security feature that prevents the reproduction and redistribution of downloaded documents.

In compliance with this request, we have implemented a security policy that utilizes a free Adobe Acrobat plug-in from FileOpen Systems, Inc.

Security Features:

  • Reproduction and Redistribution Restrictions: This security system has been implemented through the use of a free Adobe Acrobat plug-in that "locks" the PDF file to the computer on which it was first opened. Once a PDF file has been locked to a computer, it can be opened only from that computer.
  • Networking Restrictions: Secure PDF files cannot be used in a multi-user, network environment. If you are interested in purchasing standards for you internal corporate network, please contact your local IHS Office to obtain a network version of the document(s) and a network license.
  • Viewing Restrictions: You will be required to download the free plug-in to view any secured PDF document. There is no limit to the number of times a document may be viewed on your computer.
  • Printing Restrictions: The plug-in limits the number of times the document may be printed to one copy. Since printing a part of the document is interpreted by the software as the one allowable print attempt, we recommend you print the entire document.
  • Copy & Paste Restrictions: The ability to copy and paste text from the PDF file has been disabled.

Download Instructions:

  • All electronic documents will be delivered via an email containing a link to the document(s) ordered. The email will also contain detailed download instructions as well as a link for downloading the plug-in.
  • You will have 48 hours in which to download the document(s) ordered.
  • Click on the "http://plugin.fileopen.com/plugininstallpage.html" link in the email or on this page to go to the plug-in download page. Download the applicable plug-in for your operating system. This only needs to be done once.
  • Once the plug-in has been downloaded, click on the document link(s) at the bottom of the electronic document delivery email to download your document(s).
  • If you experience problems downloading the plug-in or document or have additional questions regarding secured PDF files, contact our customer support department at (800) 624-3974 (within the US and Canada) or (303) 792-2181 or send an email to globalcustomerservice@ihs.com.
