Create your own PDFs

The Formidable PDF Studio enables you to:


  • quickly and easily create, author and digitally sign your PDF documents while enabling reviews and fillable form completion in a secure environment
  • type directly on any PDF page and add comments and annotations to any PDF file
  • store and restore previous sessions
  • increase productivity by securely communicating with PDF content easier, faster and more effectively.

Securely distribute PDFs

The Formidable PDF Studio allows you to:


  • seamlessly and securely encrypt your PDFs by utilising industry proven encryption technology and
  • create Professional PDF/A compliant documents from any application with a state of the art virtual printer
  • scan multiple documents with the scanner interface
  • securely publish, distribute and share your PDF content easily and more effectively
  • restrict and control the viewing and distribution of your PDFs

Control "View Only" Mode

The Formidable Secure Cloud (FSC) and PDF Studio:


  • enable you to set various standard permission levels on any PDF document, restricting and controlling the viewing of the PDF document.
  • take you further with a dedicated permission level for PDF Studio "View Only" Mode which can be applied for a true “view only” outcome (eg: no copying, forwarding or printing)
  • FSC Integration also makes the publishing and/or retrieving of your documents as easy as the click of a button.

Formidable IRM (Information Rights Management):

The Formidable Secure Media Publisher allows you to:


  • avoid carrying data around with you and risk losing it or having it stolen
  • prevent unauthorised access to files on your computer
  • remotely access and securely update your files wherever you are in the world
  • securely send your files to others and be sure that the right person (only) has access to them and can only do with them what you allow.

Formidable DRM (Digital Rights Management)

Formidable DRM solutions are for publishers, copyright holders and individuals who:


  • sell or otherwise transfer their digital content (pictures, video, audio or text-based documents) and
  • wish to restrict access to that content (eg: to customers only) or the way it's used.

 

Formidable “virtual viewers” are downloaded and installed on authorised users' computers so the owners of the content (Licensors) can be sure their assets are only available to those they authorise and viewed according to the terms of their relationship, protecting their revenue streams and customers.


Publishers: secure distribution

The Formidable Publishers: Secure Distribution suite allows you to manage and control the Digital Rights associated with your files by:


  • securely uploading and storing files that you wish to publish
  • encrypting and assigning the files to a specific user or group of users
  • allocating publishing parameters, such as embargo dates or validity periods

Secure Emails

Stop outsiders intercepting your email and/or pretending to be you and ensure that only the intended recipients of your emails can open them. Normal emails and their attachments can be read by any moderately skilled hacker without your knowledge. Outsiders can:


  • intercept messages as you wirelessly check your mail and snoop on your email Inbox
  • access and alter confidential information belonging to you and your contacts and clients
  • even send emails in your name without your knowledge!

A Formidable Personal Certificate stops this in its tracks and proves your emails are actually yours!



The Formidable Vault

The Formidable Vault is like having an infinitely scalable personal safety deposit box on your computer within which you can securely and secretly store any or all of your files or folders.

It is a virtual drive downloaded from Formidable Solutions which seamlessly delivers transparent encryption for anything placed within it (i.e: files can be viewed and worked on by the authorised user while in the Vault although they remain encrypted throughout). Drag and drop your files to secure them!


Protect your data on the move

Formidable Solutions provide inexpensive, state of the art solutions to the very real need to protect your data from loss, corruption or theft. Remove the risk of holding, carrying or delivering files to others on hardware (computers, discs or USB sticks) or as attachments on unsecured emails or sms texts.

Securely encrypt and store these files online, restricting access to authorised users only or attach them to emails that are encrypted and digitally signed by you.

Formidable Solutions have the answer to protecting your files, IP, reputation and revenue streams with a suite of products that ensures that only those permitted to access a file can actually do so and only according to the terms of their licence.

Remote Secure Storage

The Formidable Secure Cloud (FSC) is a secure web-based digital storage facility based in a fully compliant PCI environment that enables you to securely upload, store, manage, remotely access and share your media, folders and documents with other users online.


This avoids the need to carry documents around or physically send them to others as the contents can’t be compromised or corrupted in transit due to damage, loss or theft of hardware (such as computers, laptops, USB sticks and discs). Nor can they be intercepted as attachments on emails.

Synchronise local files with files stored remotely

The Formidable Synchroniser is a local desktop tool which instantly updates or “synchronises” your designated desktop files remotely while being held within a secure online repository. This avoids the need to carry folders and files with you as you can access them and work on them remotely!


You can set up and adjust synchronisation times through a Windows service.

Access files via web or mobile

The Formidable Secure Cloud (FSC) is a secure web-based digital storage facility based in a fully compliant PCI environment that enables users to securely upload, store, manage, remotely access and share their media, folders and documents with other users online.

It enables access and sharing via:


  • The web; or
  • Mobile devices

Publishers: Secure Distribution

The Formidable Publishers: Secure Distribution suite allows you to manage and control the Digital Rights associated with your files by:


  • securely uploading and storing files that you wish to publish
  • encrypting and assigning the files to a specific user or group of users
  • allocating publishing parameters, such as embargo dates or validity  periods

Enhance revenue streams

Formidable Solutions provide industry standard solutions for those looking to enhance or protect their revenue streams while respecting the rights of, and the relationship with, purchasers and legitimate users. Users who benefit most from our DRM are those who:


  • create and market video, audio or text-based files and need to restrict access to authorized users and prevent media being copied and re-sold
  • create and market software (including HTML content, Code Signed Active X controls, dynamic link libraries or .cab files).

The Formidable stable of “virtual viewers” prevent unauthorized users accessing media outside the terms of any licence and our digital certificates prove the legitimacy and provenance of software preventing privacy.


Maintaining control of media

Formidable Solutions provide DRM solutions for publishers, copyright holders and individuals who sell or otherwise transfer their digital content and wish to restrict access to that content (eg: to customers only) or limit the way it’s used.

Formidable DRM tools support all formats such as picture, video, audio or text-based files or documents. Revenue streams are protected while the rights of those who have legitimately purchased or otherwise received the content are protected. Formidable Solutions also protects the relationship with your customers.


Website security and protection

A secure website is one that is protected against hackers and thieves.

If people visit your website they need to be sure it belongs to you. We believe that if you are inviting people to your website you have a responsibility to make it a safe place to visit and a safe place to do business. This is also very good for business.

Take a few simple steps with Formidable and you not only protect your website but the interests of your customers and clients as well. Formidable SSL and Digital Certificates provide industry standard cost-effective reassurance, verification and peace of mind.



Personal Privacy and Protection

Formidable products protect and maintain personal privacy and identity. That’s your privacy and that of those who rely on you. Protect your own personal details and data by placing them in the secure Formidable Vault.

To do business with you, people need to know they can trust you, that you are who you say you are and any personal information they share (like contact details and credit card numbers) can’t be stolen and used by someone else. You also need to be confident that your own emails can’t be intercepted or tampered with.

Privacy is paramount. Formidable solutions ensure that websites are visibly secure and emails are encrypted and digitally certified so they can’t be intercepted and the recipients can be sure they really know who sent them.



Authenticating Software

In this highly competitive online marketplace, the uptake of any software you market often requires you to extend its availability beyond the controlled confines of your own website and distribute it through multiple and varied locations such as third party download sites, resellers, mirrors, affiliates and more. With a Formidable Code Signing Certificate you:

  • confirm to end-users the authenticity and provenance of your software (regardless of where it’s been downloaded from) and verify that it’s not been interfered with
  • can sign many multiple types of files including .exe, .cab, VBA, Java, .ocx and .dll
  • create a trusted sales outlet and online presence for your software

Ensuring Trust

Trust is critical if your business is to be successful.

People need to know that:


  • you are who you say you are
  • software distributed with your name on it is actually yours
  • the personal information they share with you (like contact details and credit card numbers) can’t be stolen and used by someone else.

Be sure that you are protected and that you have looked after your contacts and customers properly. Formidable SSL and Digital Certificates deliver visible protection with industry standard authentication and validation solutions that are inexpensive and simple to use.

Secure E-Commerce

It seems incomprehensible that the vast majority of users secure the transmission of information required to process the card payment but transmit the order, invoice and payment receipts via ordinary email in an unencrypted format (which can be intercepted by any moderately skilled hacker).
Formidable Solutions provide:


  • highly secure, tailored solutions which enable you to operate secure E-Commerce websites using SSL digital certificates and
  • a secure Webstore, which incorporates encrypted PDF documentation for secure transmission and viewing of orders, invoices and receipts.



Authenticate and protect emails

Stop outsiders intercepting your email and/or pretending to be you and ensure that only the intended recipients of your emails can open them. Normal emails and their attachments can be read by any moderately skilled hacker without your knowledge. Outsiders can:


  • intercept messages as you wirelessly check your mail and snoop on your email Inbox
  • access and alter confidential information belonging to you and your contacts and clients
  • even send emails in your name without your knowledge!

A Formidable Personal Certificate stops this in its tracks and proves your emails are actually yours!
