RDocs™ allows you to share documents with your network in a secure manner, and control every aspect of who is reading what, where, when, how many times, for how long, and even revoke access temporarily or permanently after the send.
RDocs™ service converts any document or presentation into an RPD™ file type that can be opened in any browser, and in any device.

This article covers the following topics:
What is an RPD™?
RPD™ stands for Rights Protected Document™ and it’s a file construct patented by RPost where the security and controls that the document originator prescribes are built into the file itself. The RPD™ displays to readers as an .HTML file, which can be opened in any browser or .html file viewer.
The RPD™ file construct allows document originators to control document access, manage content sharing, restrict views by location, and even kill content entirely, all after the send.
What are the benefits of RPD™ vs PDF?
While PDF files allow for some level of protection, such as limiting copying, printing, or requiring a password, once shared, the document is out of the control of the originator.
The main benefit of using RPD™ over PDF is that document originators always remain in control of their content, even after the send, and gather valuable insights in real time about interaction with their documents. Plus, RPD™ files further prevent data loss with features like automatic expiration, dynamic watermarking with the reader’s email address, disabling forwarding, and more.
Why should I use RPD™ instead of VDRs?
Unlike Virtual Data Rooms (VDRs), which rely on a centralized server and third-party involvement, with RDocs™ all the controls that empower you to protect, track, or kill access to documents in-the-ether (even after sending) are built into the file itself.
RDocs™ ensures that only authorized parties can access your content, such that you retain full control over your information, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches. It even support advanced content protections like banning access in certain geographic regions, adding dynamic watermarks to discourage and ID potential leakers, pre-expire content on a timer or after a configurable number of views, and more.
Further, while VDRs usually require readers to create accounts, download companion software or even own a software license, with RDocs™ the experience for the reader is just like opening any PDF on any browser or PDF reader.
Lastly, with RDocs™ you get advanced collaboration features, like adding a contextual SideNote for readers, enabling voting to gather feedback on your content, allowing responses to the sender within the reader interface, and more.
