ADOBE ACROBAT 3D VERSION 8 273 User Guide Secure PDFs using policies You can apply either an organization policy or a user policy to a PDF. You must be online with a connection to your Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server host to apply an Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server policy to a document. Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server security policies must be stored on a policy server, but PDFs to which the policies are applied need not be. You can apply policies to PDFs using Acrobat, server-side batch sequences, or other applications, such as Microsoft Outlook. To remove a policy from a PDF, you must be the one who applied it. Similarly, only the person who created the user policy can edit it. To edit organizational policies, you must be the policy administrator. For details on editing security policies, click the Secure button in the Tasks toolbar, choose Adobe Policy Server > Manage My Account, and then click Help in the upper right corner.
