Content Sealed Format (CSF) allows you to maintain control of what users can dowith your intellectual property and data. And because CSF is not a public, open format like PDF, it cannotbe edited or converted by any third party programs. Simply put, CSF is a compressed, encrypted,accurate rendition of your document, image or CAD drawing file.You can use the Net-It Now print-capture utility to create a CSF file from any Windows application, thendistribute it for protected viewing with the free Brava! Reader or Brava! Desktop/Enterprise.Brava Desktop and Brava Enterprise can also publish native formats to CSF, PDF, and TIFF along with acurrently open markup, including redactups (block areas/text from view, search, copy and print). Authorsof CSF files can choose to set passwords on any published redactions (PDF and TIFF redactions can neverbe revealed).8
