C.D.I. Systems and FileOpen Systems Inc sign OEM agreement for the support of secure Adobe PDF in NetIS

November 03 2008, NEW YORK/JERUSALEM -- C.D.I. Systems Ltd.
(www.cdisys.com) a premier high-tech solution provider for the online publishing market and FileOpen Systems Inc (www.FileOpen.com), an Adobe Security Partner since 1997 and a worldwide leader in digital rights management software for the Adobe PDF platform, have signed an OEM agreement. This will enable the integration, and use of FileOpen WebPublisher™, an enterprise designed solution for encrypting PDF files and authenticating users, as a feature within CDI Systems' NetIS™ online publishing platform.
The integrated product -NetIS PDF Extension™ utilizes the same NetIS Digital Rights Management user interface used for HTML/XML files, allowing management of separate online and offline protection capabilities. FileOpen's WebPublisher plugs into NetIS management console, interfaces and processes, without the need to change any of the existing business logic rules, work processes or technical skills NetIS requires.

NetIS PDF Extension Features

• Automatic handling of secure PDF encryption, compatible with Adobe's latest release of Acrobat 9. Generating 100% native PDF files opened in the free Adobe Reader and in Internet Explorer or other Web browsers , without the end-user requirement to download and install a third-party viewer to open the secured PDF.



• Programmatic definition of encryption keys in NetIS server and not inside the documents, leaving no "backdoor" of breaking the files encryption (Using secure SSL protocols and RC4 with a 128-bit key encryption) to balance the need for broad compatibility with the diversity of Adobe Reader versions and operating system configurations.



• Like in HTML protection, access control to the PDF files would include expiration, concurrent-usage limitations, copying, saving and printing restrictions, integrating seamlessly with customers' firewall, workflows and NetIS based applications.

Itzhak Levit, CDI Systems' CEO says: "We have been looking to extend NetIS PDF protection capabilities and after reviewing several solutions we found WebPublisher™ as the strongest and most practical solution in the market. CDI Systems is a Microsoft Certified Partner, and as such we are aware of the value and contribution of adopting a solution provided by a certified Adobe Security Partner such as FileOpen Systems".

"This OEM agreement will enable publishers with offline and online needs to visually manage their PDF protection, users rights and permissions from their familiar NetIS interface , with our WebPublisher™ technology as the security engine running in the background" added Elizabeth Murphy, FileOpen Systems' VP Sales and Marketing, "because of the natural synergic power of the two systems, we anticipate NetIS to be a great reselling force of our technology".
