Apply security policies to PDFs
You can apply either an organization policy or a user policy to a PDF. To apply a server policy to a document, connect
to Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES. Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management security policies must be stored on
a server, but PDFs to which the policies are applied need not. You can apply policies to PDFs using Acrobat, server-
side batch sequences, or other applications, such as Microsoft Outlook.
Only the policy administrator can edit or remove organizational policies. For details on editing security policies,
choose Tools > Protection > More Protection > Rights Management > Manage Account. Then click Help in the upper-
right corner.
