Document Conversion and Security

A single document may be used in a variety of formats. For example

• HTML for the intranet or internet site
• PDF with or without security
• PDF/a and OpenDocument Format (ODF) for archiving purposes
• For Businesses or Government Agencies who use an office suite that has ODF as it’s default file format they will also require:
  • Original format for the authors
  • MS-Office to send to other businesses

As well as providing for the removal of metadata from documents, 3BClean also provides the capability to transform documents between different formats including MS Office, ODF, HTML and PDF be this individually or on the fly as documents are emailed.

Conversion of sets of documents is provided for by the bulk conversion and metadata removal utility 3BClean Legacy

PDF offers much better security than distributing MS Office documents, although it is by no means fool proof, as was illustrated by the recent high profile incident involving Google and e-Bay. In addition to scrubbing metadata from PDF files, security can be further enhanced by applying passwords and watermarking. Find out more about PDF security and watermarking.

3BClean can follow your business rules to decide what format and security to provide and perform the transformation on demand.
