Work from Home Series: Remote Security – Support | Kdan Mobile

Document security covers a few different measures that are designed to protect access and discourage improper use of your PDFs or other types of documents. Even when working from home, you have the same responsibility for document security as you would in the office. PDF Reader provides the following 3 security measures that you can use when working from home:

Watermark Your PDFs

Organizations usually watermark documents with identifying information (e.g. company and username) to prevent individuals from leaking documents and to help identify the source of the copy:

Select and open the PDF document
Tap the “Kdan Cloud” button and choose “Add Watermark” from the service menu
Tap either “Text” or “Image” to insert a watermark into the PDF
Move the watermark to the desired position
You can customize the watermark by tapping “Settings” (See the detailed tutorials here)

(Note: Different watermarks can be added to a single file, and every page can have multiple watermarks)

Encrypt Your PDFs

If the document is secured with a password, only the intended recipient in possession of the correct password will be able to open it:

Go to the file list and tap the “Edit” button in the top right corner
Select the target file and tap the “More” button
Then tap “Encrypt” and enter a new password to secure the PDF (See the detailed tutorials here)

Send Password-Protect Links

You can password protect individual files via the Kdan Cloud and send them as password protected download links:

Sign in with your Kdan ID on the Kdan Cloud web page
Find out the target file and tap “Share File Link”
Choose “Password Protected” from the pop-up window
Then enter one password to secure the download link
Once the recipients enter the correct password, they can download the files through Kdan Cloud (See the detailed tutorials here)
