Privileged Locations
For added security, Acrobat Reader DC contains a protected mode and protected view to keep your computer safe. With
Protected Mode enabled, all operations required by Acrobat Reader DC to display the PDF file are run in a restricted
manner inside a confined environment, the “sandbox.”
Protected mode
By default, Adobe Reader DC runs in protected mode to provide an added layer of security. In protected mode, malicious
PDF documents can’t launch arbitrary executable files or write to system directories or the Windows Registry.
To check the status of protected mode, choose
File > Properties > Advanced > Protected Mode.
Protected mode is enabled by default. To specify the settings, do the following:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences.
2
.
In the
Categories list on the left, select Security (Enhanced).
3
. In the
Sandbox Protections section, select or deselect Enable Protected Mode At Startup.
Enable Create Protected Mode Log File to record events. The changes take effect the next time you start the
application.
Click View Log to open the log file.
Protected view
For additional security and to avoid potential security risks associated with files that may have originated from unsafe
locations, use the Protected View mode. In the Protected View mode, most features are disabled. You can view the
PDF, but not do much else.
In the Protected View, a yellow bar displays on top of the Reader DC window. Click
Enable All Features to exit the
Protected View.
