PDF

Document

Passwords area

An Adobe PDF file can have an open document password (user password) and a change security settings password (master password). If you set any security restrictions in your file, you should also specify a master password; otherwise anyone who opens the file could remove the restrictions. If a file is opened with a master password, the security restrictions are temporarily disabled. If the file has both passwords, you can open it with either one.

PDF security can cause delays in prepress workflows when personnel handling the file downstream do not know the password. For this reason, the PDF/X-3 specification disallows the use of security settings.

Require a Password to Open the Document: Prevents access to the file unless the User Password is entered properly. The password is required even if the PDF file is opened in another program that can open PDF files, such as Adobe Illustrator. If you select this option, enter a Document

Open Password.

Use a Password to Restrict Printing, Editing, and Other Tasks: Restricts the actions selected in the Permissions area of the Security panel unless the Master Password is entered properly. If you select this option, enter a Permissions Password. This password must be diﬀerent than the

Document Open Password. A permissions password is required to change any of the options in the Permissions area.

Permissions area

Printing Allowed: Controls the level at which printing is allowed. For prepress service providers, this option should be set to High Resolution if the Permissions Password is in eﬀect. The None option prevents printing, which can be useful for on-screen review of materials where conﬁdentiality is a concern.

Changes Allowed: Deﬁnes which editing actions are allowed. None prevents all edits including entering signatures and form ﬁelds. The other option names describe the scope of restrictions.

Enable Copying Of Text, Images, And Other Content: Lets anyone use a PDF reader to copy and paste PDF content to other documents.

Enable Text Access Of Screen Reader Devices For The Visually Impaired: Lets visually impaired users use screen readers to read the document’s contents. Users can also copy and extract information from the document.
