Introduction

Safeguard Secure PDF Viewer enables you to view protected PDF files that have been
published in .PDC format.

Safeguard Viewer is a standalone application that controls what you can do with protected PDF
files (for example how long you can view them for, etc.). These document controls are set by
the publisher of the document and cannot be altered by yourself.

Pre-requisites

1. Safeguard Viewer supports Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and above

2. The Viewer will NOT run:

• in an Android emulated environment


• if USB debugging is on
• on devices that have custom ROMs installed. Note: some cheaper tablets come
loaded with custom ROMs by default and the Viewer will not work with these.

Getting Started

The document owner (publisher) will have sent you an email with details of how to install the
Viewer and register (activate) your license.

Diagram 1: Viewer Registration Email

NOTE: License File

If you do not receive this email, or your license file has not been sent to you by other means then

computer and Android device are both connected to the same network.

Select the button to start the Wi-Fi Upload process.

Diagram 32: Wi-Fi upload

Safeguard Android Viewer v2.0 - Rev 1.13 ©2023 Locklizard Ltd Page | 33 of 39
A message is displayed asking you to connect with your computer browser to a local
address (e.g. http://192.168.0.53:8080). On your computer, open your browser and
navigate to that address.

Diagram 33: Wi-Fi upload page

You will see a web page with an upload option - select the license(s) and document(s) from
your computer and click “Upload to device”.

Safeguard Android Viewer v2.0 - Rev 1.13 ©2023 Locklizard Ltd Page | 34 of 39
Tap the “Finish Wi-Fi Upload” button in Safeguard Viewer when you are done to finish the
upload process.

NOTE: Wi-fi Upload

Your computer must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Android device.

1.10.5 Cloud file storage (i.e. Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, etc.)

Install a cloud file storage system on your computer and your Android device and follow the
instructions to synchronize files between devices.

1.10.5.1 Dropbox instructions


One way of transferring files from a PC or Mac computer to your Android device is to use
an application known as Dropbox. This creates a ‘cloud’ file storage system that allows
you to upload files, movies, pictures and so on, that you can share across your account
or also with other people. You can use it to make PDC files and licenses downloaded
onto your PC/Mac available to upload to your Android device.

To do this you need to download the Dropbox application onto your Android device, and
that means setting up an account with Dropbox. Dropbox may be found in the Google
Play Store or at https://www.dropbox.com/.

Once you have installed Dropbox on your device, you must then download the Dropbox
application onto either the PC or Mac, and log on to the account that you created. That
links the accounts together. As soon as you have done that, the Dropbox app will open a
virtual folder where you can drop files to be synchronised between the PC and your
Android device. So, from the PC end you can drop files into the Dropbox folder and they
will become available to the Android device dynamically and vice-versa.
