Jason Pantalone, IT Manager, Workplace Technology Devices, Procurement at Shared Services Canada (SSC), gives Foxit high marks for the simplicity of migrating departments to PhantomPDF. “When migration to new software and a new vendor occurs, major things can go wrong, but the GC didn’t experience any of that,” he says. “Usually we hear things like, ‘well I'm not switching this product because this feature’s not working.’ But we’ve heard none of that. It’s been one of the smoothest migration projects I've ever been a part of.”

Auto-search through pattern recognition enables quick and efficient redaction on PDFs, and the Microsoft Office Foxit Plug-in generates redacted PDFs from Office documents.

Secure and Compliant

Secure and Compliant

Safeguarding sensitive PII / PHI and Homeland Security information is required as part of HIPAA, Privacy Acts, and other regulatory compliance. Foxit ConnectedPDF comes deployed in a public cloud, or for the most secure environment, a private cloud deployment offers the best protection knowing where your tracking data exists. Your actual files can reside anywhere with Foxit connectors to SharePoint, OpenText, Box, and more, and files are always tracked with DRM, even when downloaded to mobile devices. A FIPS encryption mode uses FIPS-approved algorithms during the production of PDFs to comply with NIST requirements for data protection.

Gain Readership Insight

Gain Readership Insight

Wouldn’t it be great if you can optimize readership for every document that you write?  Wouldn’t it be great if you can gain insight into your reader’s mind to find out which parts of the document are read most often, which takes more time to read, which are skipped, what is being redacted, deleted, etc. and much more wherever the document travels?  And wouldn’t it be great to be able to revoke access any time if you see fraudulent behavior? Foxit PDF Editor provides page-by-page engagement analytics to gain reader’s actions on the document, similar to how Google provides analytics on web activities.
