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 275. 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.
Figure 276 shows the pop-up dialog displayed when you click the Set open
password button on the Security page of the PDF Options dialog.
