Whether you export or import settings via an FDF file or an .acrobatsecurity setting file, the
actual settings are the same. Details about each individual setting are found in the FDF section
as well as elsewhere in this document.
Caution: The settings in the imported file will overwrite your current settings. Be sure to verify
you're getting the correct settings and that they are coming from a trusted source.
