| AD-FREE HOSTED SERVICE |
Converted PDF files are automatically stored on our servers and made available for immediate access without charge for a limited period, or with long-term hosting for service subscribers. Source PDFs are deleted from our servers after conversion. Subscribers can arrange for converted files to be accessed from their own sites via embedding using iframes |
| PUBLIC OR PRIVATE ACCESS |
Free and Public service access is provided without user access control so such files can be viewed by anyone who has been provided with the link to the converted and secured document.

Private access can also be enabled via link-hosted implementations, e.g. for subscription services |
