PDF Export Filter Settings: Security Options

The SECURITY tab provides support for specifying security attributes and permissions
settings that determine how the PDF document can be used once it is distributed. These
options are only available for standard PDF documents and cannot be used when
generating PDF/X files.
To include these security settings in the outgoing PDF document, check "Apply security".
By default this feature is not selected.

File Open Password
To password-protect a PDF document, specify and confirm a password. This password
will be required when a user attempts to open the document for viewing.

Note that it is strongly recommended that a document also be encrypted if a file open
password is applied as this security scheme is known to be relatively easy to
compromise. As a result, file open passwords should only be used as a means of
security to prevent inexperienced users from accessing sensitive documents.
