Security Options for FOSI Publishing
PDF security options are explained in Security Element.
1. Make a copy of a PDF configuration file (you can choose a .pdfcf from Arbortext-path\lib).
2. Open Arbortext Architect, and choose Edit > PDFCF. Open your .pdfcf file.
3. Locate the Security element, and choose Edit > Modify Attributes.
4. Type a password as the userPassword. This restricts access to the PDF file to users who have the userPassword.
5. Type another password as the masterPassword if you plan to set any of the other security settings in the Modify Attributes dialog box to yes.
For example, you can set noPrint to yes to prevent users from printing the PDF file or set noModify to yes to prevent users from modifying the PDF file.
6. Click OK to exit the Modify Attributes dialog box.
7. Choose File > Save, and then File > Close to exit Arbortext Architect.
8. Place the .pdfcf file in the custom\lib directory in the install tree.
9. Start Arbortext Editor and open a document.
10. Choose File > Publish > PDF File.
11. If you put your .pdfcf file in the custom\lib, you can select it from the Configuration File list .
12. Leave View PDF File selected, and then click OK.
13. When Adobe Acrobat opens the document, a prompt indicates that the file is protected and asks for a password. Type the password you set as the userPassword into the Password field.
When the document opens, you can check that you are unable to perform the actions you prevented in the .pdfcf file. For example, if you set noModify to yes, the menu options for Cut, Copy, and Delete are unavailable.
