Apply a policy

There are two kinds of security policies that you can apply to PDF documents. A user policy is developed and applied by an individual user, and is stored on a local computer. An organization policy is developed for an organization and is stored on a policy server to be shared by a group. Acrobat includes several policies that you can use to get started. These policies, along with custom user policies you create and any corporate policies your company has provided, appear on the Secure menu on the Tasks toolbar. To assign a policy, open a PDF document and choose a policy from the Secure menu on the Tasks toolbar.
