Bypass Security Restrictions in Safe Reading Mode
If you are in Safe Reading Mode, a warning dialog box will appear when a PDF tries to
complete a restricted action from an untrusted location or file. However, you may
need to execute certain actions under the current restricted security settings. In this
case, you can select trusted files, folders, and hosts and exempt them from security
restrictions. This security feature ensures that Foxit PDF Editor operates under
security level conditions that meet your working environment.
To specify the trusted files, folders, or hosts, please follow the steps below:
a) Go to File > Preferences > Security.
b) Click Add File to add trusted files to the privileged locations. Foxit PDF Editor
currently allows you to add the following files: PDF Files (.pdf), Form Data Files
(.fdf), XFDF Files (.xfdf), XDP Files (.xdp), and PPDF Files (.ppdf).
c) Click Add Folder Path to add a trusted folder of multiple files.
d) Click Add Host to add the root URL to trust the files and actions from the trusted
host. You can also check the Secure connections only (https:) to trust files and
actions from secure connections only.
e) (If needed) Click Remove to remove trusted items from privileged locations.
f) Click OK to confirm and apply the settings.
