Document information and security

• Define dynamic watermarks that are applied to documents protected with the policy. These watermarks can
contain multiple elements, each consisting of text or PDF. You can specify their positioning and appearance on
documents applied with the policy. With the use of variables, you can have dynamically created watermark content
that includes the user name, applied policy, and timestamp.
• Enable or disable Extended Usage Tracking. Rights Management supports tracking of user events associated with
various operations performed on a PDF file. The Rights Management object can be accessed using a JavaScript. A
button click, a multimedia file being played, or saving of a file are some examples of events that can fired from a
policy protected PDF. Using the Rights Management object, you can also retrieve user information. Tracking of
events may be enabled from the Rights Management server at the global level or at a policy level.
Using Rights Management, users can open and use protected documents when they are not connected to the Rights
Management server. The user's client application must regularly synchronize with the server to keep documents valid
for offline use. By default, synchronization occurs automatically every four hours and as required when a user is
connected to the Rights Management server. If the offline period for a document expires while the user is offline, the
user must reconnect to the server. Reconnecting enables the client application to synchronize with the server. In the
Rights Management configuration file, you can specify the default frequency of the automatic background
synchronization. This setting acts as the default time-out period for client applications unless the client explicitly sets
its own time-out value.

How Rights Management secures a document
The following illustration and list shows various users interacting with policy-protected PDF documents and Rights
Management. (If Rights Management protects other file types, such as a DOC file, users can interact with these file
types in the same manner.)
