Security options for Adobe PDF files
When you export to PDF, you can set the following Security options:
Compatibility Sets the type of encryption for opening a password-protected document. The Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
option uses a low encryption level (40-bit RC4), while the other options use a high encryption level (128-bit RC4).
Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) or later lets you enable metadata for searching.
Be aware that anyone using an earlier version of Acrobat cannot open a PDF document with a higher compatibility
setting. For example, if you select Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6) compatibility for a document’s security setting, the document
cannot be opened in Acrobat 6.0 or earlier.
Require a Password to Open the Document Requires anyone who tries to open the PDF file to enter the password
you specify.
Document Open Password Sets the password to protect the PDF file. This option is only enabled when the previous
option is selected.
Note:
If you forget a password, there is no way to recover it from the document. It’s a good idea to store passwords in a
separate secure location in case you forget them.
Use a Password to Restrict Printing, Editing, and Other Tasks
Restricts access to the PDF file’s security settings. If
the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat, the user can view the file but must enter the specified Permissions password in
order to change the file’s Security and Permissions settings. If the file is opened in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign,
or GoLive the user must enter the Permissions password, since it is not possible to open the file in a view-only mode.
Permissions Password Sets the password to protect the PDF file. This option is only enabled when the previous
option is selected.
Printing Allowed Specifies the level of printing that users are allowed for the PDF document.
• None
Prevents users from printing the document.
• Low Resolution (150 dpi)
Lets users print at no higher than 150-dpi resolution. Printing may be slower because
each page is printed as a bitmap image. This option is available only if the Compatibility option is set to Acrobat 5
(PDF 1.4) or a later Acrobat version.
• High Resolution
Lets users print at any resolution, directing high-quality vector output to PostScript and other
printers that support advanced high-quality printing features.
Changes Allowed
Defines which editing actions are allowed in the PDF document.
• None
Prevents users from making any changes to the document, including filling in signature and form fields.
•
Inserting, Deleting, And Rotating Pages
Lets users insert, delete, and rotate pages, as well as create bookmarks
and thumbnail pages. This option is only available for high (128-bit RC4) encryption.
• Commenting, Filling in Form Fields, and Signing
Lets users add comments, fill out forms, and add digital signa­
tures. This option doesn’t allow users to move page objects or create form fields.

Page Layout, Filling in Form Fields, and Signing
Lets users fill out forms and add digital signatures. This option
doesn’t allow users to add comments or create form fields.
• Any Except Extracting Pages
Lets users edit the document, create and fill out form fields, add comments, and add
digital signatures.
