Acrobat Family of Products Security Feature User Guide Password Security Creating a Reusable Password Security Policy 68 Tip: Adobe recommends that permission passwords and document open password always be used together. The permissions password is used to change permissions and is NOT needed to gain access to the features the author is permitting. Thus, holders of the permissions password are essentially "owners" of the document and can do anything to it that the author could do. Caution: Adobe products enforce permissions restrictions. However, not all third-party products fully support and respect these permissions (the encryption would not be violated). Recipients using such third-party products might be able to bypass some of your restrictions. Set the permissions as needed: 1. Printing Allowed: None: Prohibits printing. Low Resolution: Limits printing to 150-dpi resolution. Printing may be slower because each page is printed as a bitmapped image. This option is only available if a high encryption level (Acrobat 5 or Acrobat 6) is selected. Low resolution also inhibits users from printing a high quality document and using optical character recognition software to create a similar document with no security. High Resolution: Allows printing at any resolution. For example, you can direct high-quality vector output to PostScript and other printers that support advanced high-quality printing features. 2. Changes Allowed: Limits page-level editing, commenting, and form field interaction. None: Prevents users from changing the document, including filling in signature and form fields. Inserting, deleting, and rotating pages: Lets users insert, delete, rotate pages, and create bookmarks and thumbnail pages. This option is only available if a high encryption level is selected. Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields: Lets users fill in forms and add digital signatures. This option doesn't allow users to add comments or create form fields. Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing existing signature fields: Lets users fill in forms and add digital signatures and comments. Any except extracting pages: Lets users change the document using any method listed in the Changes Allowed menu, except remove pages. 3. Enable copying of text, images, and other content: Allows file contents (excluding comments) to be copied. It also makes the content available to assistive technology devices such as screen readers. It also lets utilities that need access to the contents of a PDF file, such as Acrobat Catalog, get to those contents. This option is only available if a high encryption level is selected. 4. Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired: Only available if the option above is NOT checked. Lets visually impaired users read the document with screen readers. This option doesn't allow users to copy or extract the document's contents. This option is only available if a high encryption level is selected.
