I need to set password to open the document because it is confidential. And also need to set protection password for being edited by the receiver. This pdf document is for receiver to view and sign only. Please advise what is the correct setting. thank you

Re: Permission Password




Hi,



There are various security settings that can be set, although please note that Adobe products will adhere to the security restrictions that you apply, but third party products may or may not adhere to them as the PDF is an open standard which can be implemented by anyone.



That being said, if you go to File->Properties.



Then you can see all the options that you can set with a password, if you select "Password Security" from the drop down list.





Hope this helps



Malcolm
