Viewing PDF documents with security policies
In Adobe Acrobat 7.0, authors can save encryption settings as security policies, which
capture security settings for reuse. Security policies are stored on Adobe Policy Server to
be shared by a group. The document to which a security policy is applied may include
restrictions, such as not allowing printing or copying.
While security policies are stored on a policy server, the PDF documents are not. You can
use Adobe Policy Server only if your company has purchased rights and made it available
to you.
Corporate security policies A. Policies are stored on the server. B. Policies are applied to the PDF
document. C. Users can open and print the document only if permitted by the policy.
