Run High-Volume Sealing from Your Own Cloud

Publisher Cloud gives enterprise teams the same standards-based PDF sealing capability as Publisher, but with orchestration deployed inside your own cloud environment. Use functions or Kubernetes-based services to handle high-volume document flows while keeping your networking, observability, and automation inside your platform boundary.

When to use Publisher Cloud

Use it when central platform teams need document-sealing orchestration to run inside their own Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or Kubernetes environment for throughput, governance, or integration reasons.

1

deployment boundary

Run the connector or sealing orchestrator in your own cloud account, tenant, or cluster.

2

deployment patterns

Deploy as a function-based service or Kubernetes workload depending on your platform model.

Operational Fit

Keep orchestration in the cloud platform you already govern

Best fit for enterprise teams that already operate event-driven functions, containers, or Kubernetes services.

Platform teams

Standardize document sealing behind internal services and cloud policy controls.

High-volume ops

Process large batch jobs, scheduled outputs, and event-triggered documents.

Security teams

Keep secrets, logs, and network policy inside your existing cloud governance model.

Product teams

Add sealing to internal platforms without routing through end-user workflow tools.

How it works

Step 1: Deploy in your cloud

Run a function or Kubernetes-based service inside your Azure, AWS, GCP, or private cluster environment.

Step 2: Submit sealing requests

Your service receives internal document jobs, prepares the request, and calls Trusted Signatures over outbound HTTPS.

Step 3: Return sealed PDFs

The sealed output flows back into your application, queue, storage, or downstream delivery pipeline.

Deployment paths

Function-based deployment

Use Azure Functions, AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, or similar serverless runtimes when you want elastic scaling for bursty or event-driven document flows.

Talk through architecture

Kubernetes deployment

Run a long-lived service, worker pool, or job-based connector in Kubernetes when you need tighter runtime control, custom networking, or large-scale batch orchestration.

Discuss Kubernetes rollout

Cloud platform fit

Azure and Microsoft stack

Integrate with Power Automate, Logic Apps, Functions, queues, and storage accounts for enterprise document workflows.

See cloud connector docs

AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes

Wire sealing into Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, Cloud Run, GKE, EKS, AKS, or your own cluster-operated worker model.

Outcomes for your team

  • Keep document-sealing orchestration inside your own cloud governance boundary.
  • Support higher-volume PDF generation and sealing pipelines without changing recipient validation behavior.
  • Reuse your existing logging, monitoring, queueing, and secret-management controls.
  • Give platform teams one internal service pattern for many document-producing applications.

Capabilities

Capability Summary

Deploy the orchestration layer in your own cloud, scale with functions or Kubernetes, keep secrets in your platform, and preserve standards-based sealing and reader-native validation.

Runs in your cloud boundary

Deploy the service in your own account, tenant, subscription, or cluster.

Function or Kubernetes model

Choose serverless elasticity or container-orchestrated control depending on your platform.

High-volume workflow support

Designed for batch operations, queues, scheduled jobs, and event-driven sealing triggers.

Outbound HTTPS integration

Production rollout starts with standard egress to Trusted Signatures.

Cloud-native secret management

Store credentials in Key Vault, Secrets Manager, Secret Manager, or equivalent controls.

Internal API pattern

Expose a controlled internal service to business applications instead of embedding sealing logic everywhere.

Reader-visible trust outcomes

Recipients still verify in Acrobat/Reader and compatible PAdES viewers.

Managed sealing backend

Trusted Signatures continues to handle secure signing operations with managed key custody.

Security and operations

Network model

Use outbound HTTPS from your runtime environment. Teams can layer their own egress policies, firewall rules, and cloud-network controls.

Secret handling

Keep API credentials in your cloud-native secrets platform and scope access to the deployment that submits sealing jobs.

Operational ownership

Run logging, alerting, autoscaling, and deployment lifecycle with the same tooling you already use for internal services.

Paths by role

For Platform Engineers

Standardize sealing as an internal cloud service with deployment automation, queue processing, and runtime controls that match your platform standards.

Discuss deployment design

For Security & Compliance

Keep orchestration, secrets, and audit telemetry inside existing cloud controls while using standards-based sealing and managed signing custody.

Security overview

Trust and standards

Publisher Cloud preserves the same ISO 32000/PDF signature structures and X.509-based validation behavior as Publisher. Optional timestamping and long-term validation evidence can still be part of the sealing workflow, while your orchestration layer stays under your cloud operations model.

Recipients do not need a custom viewer or plugin. Trust verification remains document-native in Acrobat/Reader and other compatible PAdES viewers, subject to reader trust-store configuration.

Pricing at a glance

Publisher Cloud is positioned for enterprise deployments that want a predictable platform model for running the orchestration layer in their own environment. Final planning depends on deployment shape, expected volume, and whether you pair it with Publisher Identity.

  • Best fit for teams with established cloud or Kubernetes operations.
  • Supports single-region, multi-region, and multi-cluster rollout planning.
  • Works alongside standard Publisher and Publisher Identity services when needed.

Validate Deployment Fit

Review the operating model before rollout

Use the same trust-validation flow as Publisher while planning an enterprise deployment pattern that fits your cloud boundary, scaling model, and governance controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What runs in our cloud versus Trusted Signatures?
Your orchestration component runs in your cloud account or cluster. Trusted Signatures still performs the managed sealing operation in its secure service.
Do PDFs have to leave our environment?
No. The deployment pattern is designed so your cloud-hosted service can keep PDFs local and exchange only the sealing request data required for the signing operation.
Which platforms are supported?
Teams typically deploy with cloud functions, container services, or Kubernetes in Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and similar enterprise environments.
When should we choose Publisher Cloud over the standard Publisher workflows?
Choose Publisher Cloud when you need orchestration inside your own cloud boundary, have platform teams already operating cloud workloads, or need a deployment model suited for higher-volume document flows.
How is pricing structured?
Publisher Cloud is positioned for enterprise deployments with subscription-based platform access, alongside sealing usage planning based on expected document volume.
How do credentials and secrets work?
Use your cloud’s native secret-management controls to hold API credentials and restrict access to the service that submits sealing requests.
Can one deployment serve multiple applications or regions?
Yes. Teams commonly front multiple document-producing applications with one internal service pattern, then scale it across regions or clusters according to their own cloud architecture.
