Hello,

I just downloaded the trial of Acrobat Pro DC for Windows 7.

I am not seeing the answers in the How-to or the forums.

• How do I restrict copying and editing without a password?

• How do I restrict the number of copies to be printed?

• How & Where do I restrict the print quality?

Thanks!

Jeff

I have a policy set up to restrict printing, editing, etc. of a PDF document.  How do I set up the policy in the toolbar so I can conveniently add the policy to a given document.  I used to be able to do this in Acrobat 8.  Now I have Acrobat 11 on my desktop.  IT can't help me get the convenient toolbar feature in place.  What gives?

Thanks,

Ed

What is your objection to password security? It doesn't mean the user has to type a password.

Bear in mind a lot of software just ignores it.
