Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Document distribution
French term or phrase: exemplaire tramé
Hello and Happy New Year!

I've come across the above term in a description of the document distribution system for an emergency plan.

Confidentielle: Chacun d’eux reçoit un exemplaire tramé et ne peut étendre la diffusion sans l’accord de l’initiateur.

In previous distribution lists for the same sort of document, the word tramé has been replaced by numeroté, which makes sense, but I can't work out what they mean by "tramé" in this context. I know a trame can be a template, or used in a specific printing context, but what are they getting at here?

Many thanks in advance.

After some research (see the two pages below), I suspect it may be a "Confidential" watermark added on each page

Explanation:
"Tramé" referring to a tracked, or numbered document previously in the text, my thought in this context would be that it refers to a unique user copy or single-use copy.

exemplaire (sur papier) tramé
copy on security paper


Explanation:
There are of course various different types available, but this is a generic term that would satisfactorily cover the current term for most normal purposes.

See this manufacturer for example:

  -> Thanks, C! I think we may both eb a bit out of date here; according to the refs. kindly provided, a form of 'electronic watermarking' is indeed used these days, which is probably what is being referred to here.

copy on security paper


Explanation:
Another Proz site (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/business_commerc... suggests "safety paper" for "papier tramé", though "security paper" seems to be a more common term http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_paper - can include watermarks, as suggested by Alison ("Security paper is a paper that incorporates features that can act to identify or authenticate a document as original, e.g. watermarks or invisible fibres in paper, or features that demonstrate tamper evidence when fraud is attempted")

agree  Tony M: Ah yes, I see what you mean! That DOES make much more sense in this situation with distribution (electronic!)

  -> Tony, did you checked my references? Nowadays, I think that the watermark is integrated in the print file, not necessarily in the paper

  -> What do you call "genuinely" watermarked? Did you check my second link? Of course, in a file, the watermark is somewhat virtual.
