FREMONT, CA--(Marketwired - May 3, 2016) - Foxit Software, a leading software provider of fast, affordable, and secure PDF solutions, today announced that Foxit PhantomPDF has been certified compliant with the SAFE-BioPharma® global digital identity standard. Compliance with the SAFE-BioPharma standard provides the strongest proof of the identity of the person who applied a digital signature to a submission to government regulators.
PhantomPDF is a full-featured, business-ready PDF solution that includes viewing, creation, editing, commenting, sharing, security, organization, exporting, OCR, security, form creation, and digital signature features. The flagship PhantomPDF Business edition offers an extensive range of usability and power features that meet the requirements of individual users, small businesses, and large enterprises.
"We are pleased to receive this important certification," said Susana De Abrew, in-house Regulatory Director at Foxit Software. "SAFE-BioPharma works closely with global regulatory agencies such as the US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency to ensure that its standard facilitates user compliance with 21CFR11 and regulatory requirements for digital signatures in Europe. Without this certification, digital signatures could not be adopted into this environment."
