How do digital signatures help secure my data? Thanks.

How about speed?

We are integrating the Design Review 2010 viewer control into an inhouse .NET application. In that context, I'd like to know if there is any way of programmatically extracting the text part of markups in a DWFX file saved from Design Review 2010. Unfortunately the ExpressViewerControl API does not seem to have anything for exporting the markups to a CSV file programmatically, though the desktop product version has that facility.

Help would be truly appreciated.
