Re: doc security
Main instructions to sales people are:
1 Add License number to Header ? using sequential numbers as
allocated to each salesperson
2 Insert Customer Name & Address on page 1
3 Add bolt-on Clauses as necessary
4 DO NOT make any edits to the text without prior approval
1,2, and 4 I think are OK. PDF version with form fields for adding
relevant info. As printing is
required the full version of Acrobat is needed. PDF doc can be password
protected to prevent text
editing.
3 is the new requirement and I can see no nice way of doing it using
PDF. I had thought initially of several versions with the different
optins added in but the number of possible permutations is just too
high. Could possibly be done using the Form fn in Word with MOST of the
doc protected (in sections) and the bolt-on clauses either
hidden/visible (aim is to print them out) but I'm not sure about the
security.
This would work, and it would be secure if you use Adobe Business
Tools, and create the form so that modifying the form is by password,
and by digital signature. You can do it with less, but this is
available in Acrobat Business Tools.
You will have to create the form in Adobe Acrobat 4.05 and you will
have to make sure that you create the digital signatures and include
their access in the form.
(Acrobat Business Tools is about half the cost of the full version of
Acrobat, and volume licensing can reduce it further.)
