Separator Page
Separator pages allow you to create multiple PDFs of varying page length from a batch of documents. They are easy to use, simply insert a separator page between each document. Every time the scanning software recognizes a new separator page it will then create a new PDF file. Separator pages will either have some type of text or barcode image on them. This tells the scanning software where one document ends and another begins. These are called generic separator pages. You can add naming options on a separator page, so that each PDF is named using a rule or document title. Separator Pages can also have routing options so that the documents are stored in a particular location.
Social Media

SSL
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and, in short, it’s the standard technology for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred, including potential personal details. The two systems can be a server and a client (for example, a shopping website and browser) or server to server (for example, an application with personal identifiable information or with payroll information). It does this by making sure that any data transferred between users and sites, or between two systems remain impossible to read. It uses encryption algorithms to scramble data in transit, preventing hackers from reading it as it is sent over the connection. This information could be anything sensitive or personal which can include credit card numbers and other financial information, names and addresses.
SSL Certificate
An SSL Certificate (Secure Sockets Layer), also called a Digital Certificate, creates a secure link between a website and a visitor’s browser. By ensuring that all data passed between the two remains private and secure, SSL encryption prevents hackers from stealing private information such as credit card numbers, names and addresses. If you sell products or services on your website and accept credit cards online, you need an SSL Certificate for website security. If you don’t sell online but want to add credibility to your website, a Site Confirm Seal may be sufficient.
Streaming
Media streaming is a technique for transferring data so that it can be processed as a steady and continuous stream. Many users do not have a fast enough internet connection to download large multimedia files quickly. With streaming, the client browser or plug-in can start displaying the data or playing the media file before the entire file has been transmitted.
