FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Foxit Software, a leading provider of solutions for reading, creating, organizing and securing PDF documents, announces Foxit PDF Security Suite software for Microsoft Active Directory® Rights Management Services (AD RMS) to enhance the security and functionality of PDF documents residing in Microsoft Windows Server Systems™ and Sharepoint® Services. The software components included in Foxit PDF Security Suite provide the first cost-effective solution for extending enterprise-ready AD RMS protection to the PDF file format. Typically, PDF files represent 20% of information held in enterprise IT environments.

“There is a growing need for organizations to prevent loss of valuable company assets and insure regulatory compliance and corporate governance. Foxit Software’s fully ISO 32000 compatible PDF technology and award winning software applications are a natural choice for use with Microsoft AD RMS enabled products. We think customers will also benefit from new features that allow selective enablement of PDF functionality like off-line forms fill-in, editing, and document annotation to enable cost-effective digital workflows using existing PDF documents,” said Eugene Xiong, CEO of Foxit Software.

Foxit PDF Security Suite allows users to enhance the value of existing IT infrastructure investments as well as enable the creation of business process efficiencies. “Foxit PDF Security Suite extends AD RMS support to PDF and makes it possible for CIO's and IT managers to save money by deploying one Enterprise DRM solution to protect both PDF and MS office formats,” said George Gao, Vice President of Sales & Marketing.

A beta release of Foxit PDF Security Suite is available to IT professionals interested in testing, and piloting solutions in their corporate or government environments. The software components required for protecting and viewing AD RMS protected PDF files may be downloaded at www.foxitsoftware.com/rms.
