For enhanced security on Office documents (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx, .docm, .pptm, .xlsm, or .pdf), you can
implement Data Guardian's Protected Office mode. Protected Office documents are uploaded to the
cloud, not as .xen files, but with their file extensions (for example, .docx or .pdf). However, the Office
documents are encrypted.
Basic File Protection policies allow you to configure additional file extensions to be encrypted. Copy the
extensions from the Windows policy to the mobile's Basic File Protection Configuration policy. Users can
open, edit, and save encrypted files.

Users can open a protected .pdf file with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC or Microsoft Word.
If additional file extensions are set through the Basic File Protection Configuration policy on a Windows
