Safeguard Secure PDF Viewer is a free standalone application for macOS operating systems. This tool allows users to view and edit their PDF files. Besides, with the help of Safeguard Secure PDF Viewer, you can control the authorized viewing of secure PDF files in the PDC file format.

This unique tool also supports PDC files protected with the help of Safeguard PDF Security and Enterprise PDF DRM utilities. Safeguard Secure PDF Viewer provides the licensed use of secure PDF documents. And all the document controls are only set and approved by the publisher of the document.

How does the app work?

The Secure PDF Viewer software was developed to check whether the PDF file (PDC file) you view has the correct key for decryption. If it does not happen, the utility will verify whether you have been granted access to a particular document and check the rights that pertain.

In case of access is given, the decryption key will be securely transferred to the Secure PDF Viewer. And thanks to this, you will have an opportunity to view the secure PDF document. However, if access is not allowed, there will be shown a notification from the publisher. This message will inform you that they want to be contacted and give you access to the secure PDF file.

When the secure PDF document has been finally opened, there is no need to be connected to the Internet. However, there are some exceptions as well. For example, you may need an Internet connection if the publisher of the secured PDF document requires this or when you want to make a printed copy.
