Security

Hi dcochran,

Acrobat has to ability to set document permissions (i.e., print) on a individual document but to control who has access to that particular document you'll probably want to investigate LiveCycle Policy server. Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server is a server-based security system that provides dynamic control over PDFs. Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server can be configured to run with LDAP, ADS, and other enterprise systems.
Security policies are stored on the Policy Server, the PDFs aren’t. However, users may be required to connect to the Policy Server so that they can open or continue to use PDFs to which a security policy has been applied.

Hope this helps,
Lori

Hi dcochran,

If the number of individuals is somewhat limited and controllable you can also use Certificate Security in Acrobat to limit access (this requires Acrobat 6 or higher).For more information on this visit:

Am using Adobe 8 - how do I set permissions on a PDF so that people opening it in Acrobat Reader can't copy any of the PDF - I want to restrict them to being able to print only

Can anyone help ?

How can I protect a photograph from being copied from my PDF when it is opened in Acrobat Reader - is there any way I can protect the image ?

Thanks

pvincent,
Yes, you can restrict the a PDF to print only and you can preclude extraction of an image.
For a discussion of this, open Acrobat's help and search on "security options".

Be well...

Is there a way to enable security of a pdf that allows a specific number of printing's regardless of who is printing the pdf. We are looking for a kind of counter to track print usage and disable the printabilty or access to the pdf once a specified number of printings is reached.
