PDF products

NFPA has made a change to our Digital Rights Management (DRM) policy. There are two components to this change.

First, all of our PDF products will no longer be locked with the FIleOpen DRM utility. This policy change is designed to increase customer access to code. Many of our customers could not utilize the PDF products because of technical issues with mobile devices like iPads and android tablets. Still more could not use them because of corporate or government security measures. NFPA has not changed its license terms, so all PDF downloads are limited to a single user. Organizations that would like to host a copy on internal networks or have multi-user licenses can contact NFPA for licensed multi-user solutions.

The second change is to the watermarking tool. Until today, watermarks were pre-filled with the customer information on the purchasing account. Now, customers have two fields that separate “designated user” from “owner/purchaser.” This will greatly enhance purchasing through purchasing departments or agents. In addition, consultants, trainers and any other code user that buys a copy of the code on behalf of another can easily designate the proper user and owner of that purchase. This change will increase the ability of customers to protect their investment in NFPA products.

NFPA has made this change to make it easier to access code anywhere – on tablet, smartphone, or laptop. As more code users embrace mobile technology, NFPA wants to provide solutions to match your needs.
