Auditing:
Enable or disable auditing of the events that are associated with a policy-protected document. For example, document security can record events such as attempts to open a document. Audited events appear in the list on the Events page. If you do not select this option, document security does not record events for documents that are associated with the policy.

Extended Usage Tracking:
Enable or disable Extended Usage Tracking. document security supports tracking of user events associated with various operations performed on a PDF file. The document security object can be accessed using a Java Script. A button click, a multimedia file being played, or the saving of a file are some examples of events that can fired from a policy protected PDF. Using the document security object, you can also retrieve user information. The tracking of events may be enabled from the document security server at the global level or at a policy level.

Auto-Offline Lease Period:
The maximum number of days the recipient can use the policy-protected document offline (without an active Internet or network connection). When the lease period expires, the recipient must synchronize the document again to continue using it.
