Acrobat has various built-in security features controlling access to PDFs that must be set on a file-by-file basis. With SecuritySetter, set these security features once and then apply those settings to a large number of files when used in conjunction with Mapsoft’s Automator tool (sold separately). If security options are set for multiple files, all files opened in the same batch must have the same or compatible security settings. Using the SecuritySetter Acrobat Plug-in, set two types of password to limit access to PDFs:Open the Document password — users must enter this password, sometimes referred to as the user password, before they can open the document to which it applies.Change Security Options password — users must enter this password, sometimes referred to as either the master or owner password, if existing security options are to be changed. It is advisable to set this password. If it is not set, anyone who opens the file could then remove any restrictions that might apply to it.Passwords can be changed or deleted. However, passwords cannot be recovered from the document should you forget them. When changing a document’s security it is important that the user be aware that while SecuritySetter is able to make the changes required the remaining tools in the master toolbox, and many of Acrobat’s functions, require the user to perform a save as operation before these tools/functions can be notified of changes made with SecuritySetter. When using Acrobat version 5, it is often necessary to perform a save as before changes become visible. Under Acrobat 6 it is advised to perform either a save or a save as to ensure that security modifications are fully understood by Acrobat before proceeding with other operations.Manage multiple documents in one batch operation, by using SecuritySetter in conjunction with Mapsoft’s unique macro builder tool, Automator (sold separately).Manufacturer: Mapsoft Computer Services Limited
