Adding security to PDF files
When saving as PDF, you can add password protection and security restrictions, limiting not only who can open the file, but also who can copy or
extract contents, print the document, and more.
A PDF file can require passwords to open a document (document open password) and to change security settings (permissions password). If you
set any security restrictions in your file, you should set both passwords; otherwise, anyone who opens the file could remove the restrictions. If a file
is opened with a permissions password, the security restrictions are temporarily disabled.
The RC4 method of security from RSA Corporation is used to password-protect PDF files. Depending on the Compatibility setting (in the General
category), the encryption level will be high or low.
Adobe PDF presets don’t support passwords and security settings. If you select passwords and security settings in the Export Adobe PDF
dialog box, and then click Save Preset, the passwords and security settings won’t be preserved.
Security options for PDFs
You can set the following options when you create a PDF or when you apply password protection to a PDF. Options vary depending on the
Compatibility setting. Security options are not available for PDF/X standards or presets.
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 or AES).
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 the Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6) option, the document cannot be opened in Acrobat 6.0 or earlier.
Select this option to require users to type the password you specify to open the document.
Specify the password that users must type to open the PDF file.
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.
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, Adobe Photoshop, or Adobe InDesign, the user must enter the Permissions password, since
it is not possible to open the file in a view-only mode.
Specify a password that is required to change the permissions settings. This option is available only if the previous
option is selected.
Specifies the level of printing that users are allowed for the PDF document.
Prevents users from printing the document.
Lets users print at no higher than 150-dpi resolution. Printing may be slower because each page is printed as
