protecting documents against unauthorized access or alteration is an important part of modern life and in Acrobat 10 we have improvements in both the strengths of our encryption methods and the simplicity of applying and managing them protection can be applied to PDF files and through portfolios and file attachments to other file formats to either restrict the ability to open a file or block access to features such as printing editing commenting and content extraction Acrobat 10 supports the widest range of protection methods with varying degrees of encryption to choose from based on the value of the documents and the needs of your users all PDF protection relies on encryption using either a password a digital certificate or a server based rights management solution to encrypt a file open the new tools pane and select protection the first two buttons are what we're looking for clicking encrypt opens a drop-down list of the methods and preset profiles available certificate encryption is designed for situations where you know your recipients in advance and they each have a digital ID the public key of which they must share with you in a file by using their certificates to encrypt the document only they can open it so of course you need to make sure you've included your own certificate in the list of recipients or you'll be locked out then we browse for the shared public keys that have been sent by each of our recipients and for each user we can set individual permissions on what they may be allowed to do when they open the file then click Next and click finish the settings have been remembered but they haven't been applied to the file they'll only be applied when you save the document so you can continue to make changes to it and if you change your mind you can choose encrypt remove and reset the document to its unsecured state password-based encryption is the most commonly used method and the most widely supported in non Adobe software plus it doesn't need any advanced knowledge as anyone who knows the password can open the file the settings dialog for password protection has a number of important changes in Acrobat 10 first when you select the compatibility level you can see we still have the ability to target older versions of Acrobat which can be important if your files are being opened in third-party software however the strongest method based on 256 bit encryption is now compatible with Acrobat and reader 10 and later if you're distributing files to users of Acrobat or reader 9 you should choose the Acrobat 7 and later preset there are two ways we can protect the file we can apply an open password which of course is needed to open the file in the first place or we can restrict operations on the file with a permissions password or both of course if you choose both you can't use the same password...
