TABLE OF CONTENTS Often, you find that you are repeating the same sequence of actions to apply consistent security settings to a series of documents or projects. Rather than manually applying the certificate or password to the document, create a security policy instead. You can build security policies for passwords, certificates, or Adobe Policy Server; the discussion is limited to passwords and certificates.
Password protection is commonly used to prevent changes in documents distributed anonymously, such as content intended for Web site use.
Follow these steps to create a new password security policy:
Click the Secure task button to open its menu and choose Manage Security Policies to open the Managing Security Policies dialog box.
Click New to open the New Security Policy dialog box, a four-pane wizard.
On the first pane of the dialog box, choose the basic encryption option you want to use for the policy. Leave the default Use passwords selection. Click Next.
In the General settings pane of the wizard, name the policy, and type a description. Click Save passwords with the policy to make it simpler to apply the policy at a later date (Figure 10.21).
Choose Document Restrictions in the next pane of the dialog. The contents of the dialog are the same as those shown in Figure 10.2.
Click Next; type the confirmation in the Adobe Security dialog, and click OK.
Click Next again to display the final pane of the dialog, which lists the Policy Details.
