Security page of PDF Options dialog
PDF export includes options to encrypt the PDF (so it cannot be opened without a password) and
apply some digital rights management (DRM) features.
• With an open password set, the PDF can only be opened with the password. Once opened,
there are no restrictions on what the user can do with the document (for example, print,
copy, or change it).
• With a permissions password set, the PDF can be opened by anyone, but its permissions
can be restricted. See Figure 294. After you set a password for permissions, the other
choices on the Security page become available.
• With both the open password and permission password set, the PDF can only be opened
with the correct password, and its permissions can be restricted.
Note
Permissions settings are effective only if the user’s PDF viewer respects the settings.
