PDFaqua controlled documents with more than our own electronic publishing solution, EZsubs, was a logical decision to help make the lives of our customers easier. We understand that the needs of our customers vary from company to company. Some of our customers who are using PDFaqua are not using EZsubs for publishing. We wanted to make sure that they were getting the most out of CDC Solutions' technology, especially since document reuse is critical in highly regulated environments."

This enables companies using any publishing solution or tool to benefit from the enhanced document security provided by PDFaqua. About CDC Solutions Ltd.
