How Drumlin Security Delivers Protected PDFs in the Browser

Secure Distribution Depends on the Reading Experience

Drumlin Security Ltd is an IT services company that provides secure PDF document distribution to customers worldwide. Publishers, corporates and individuals use its PDF copyright protection service to control how their documents are shared and viewed. The document has to look right when it reaches the reader, and any conversion step in the pipeline has to preserve the original document faithfully.

Converting PDF to HTML with BuildVu

Drumlin needed the highest quality file conversion it could get. It chose BuildVu, the Java PDF to HTML converter from IDRsolutions, to turn PDF files into HTML5 that displays directly in the browser. Bookmarks from the source PDF are retained in the converted output, and BuildVu generates the data needed for fast keyword search, so readers can navigate and find content the way they would in the original file.

“Conversion of files is reliable, fast and the results are efficient to display on all modern HTML5 compliant web browsers and platforms. Retention of bookmarks and generation of fast keyword search facilities complete the picture.”

Consistent Output Across Browsers and Platforms

Drumlin’s customers now receive their documents as HTML that renders consistently across modern browsers and platforms. The conversion runs reliably at speed, and the output keeps the navigation and search features readers expect from a PDF. This lets Drumlin offer browser-based delivery without trading away document quality.
