Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES
Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES is a server-based security system that provides dynamic control over PDFs.
Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES can be configured to run with LDAP, ADS, and other enterprise systems.
Policies provided by Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES are stored on the server and can be refreshed from the
server. Users connect to Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES to work with these policies.
Security policies are stored on a server running Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES, but the PDFs are not. In
some situations, users are required to connect to the server to open or continue to use PDFs to which a security policy
is applied. For information on configuring Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES, click Help on the Adobe
LiveCycle Rights Management ES website after you log in to your account.

Setting up security policies

Types of security policies
If you often apply the same security settings to multiple PDFs, you can save your settings as a policy that you can reuse.
Security policies save time while ensuring a more consistently secure workflow. Creating policies for password and
certificate security lets you reuse the same security settings for any number of PDFs. Two kinds of security policies are
available:
• Organizational policies are especially useful if you want others to have access to PDFs for a limited time. Adobe
LiveCycle Rights Management ES policies are stored on a server, and users must have access to the server to use
them. Creating these policies requires specifying the document recipients from a list on Adobe LiveCycle Rights
Management ES. Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES controls access to PDFs and auditing events as defined
by the security policy. You can use Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES if your company has licensed the
software and made it available to you.
