PDF
documents that have usage rights added permit document recipients
and users to do the following tasks:
Complete PDF documents and forms online or offline, allowing
recipients to save copies locally for their records.
Save PDF documents to a local hard drive to retain the original
document and additional comments, data, or attachments.
Attach files and media clips to PDF documents.
Sign, certify, and authenticate PDF documents by applying
digital signatures using industry-standard public key infrastructure
(PKI) technologies.
Submit completed or annotated PDF documents electronically.
Use PDF documents and forms as an intuitive development front
end to internal databases and web services.
Share PDF documents with others so that reviewers can add
comments by using intuitive markup tools. For example, tools such
as electronic sticky notes, stamps, highlights, and text strikethrough
(the same functions that are available in Acrobat) can be used.
Use barcoded forms decoding with the Barcoded Forms service.
Use unlimited credentials.
These special user capabilities are automatically activated when
a rights-enabled PDF document is opened within Adobe Reader. When
a user is finished working on a rights-enabled document, those functions
are once again disabled in Adobe Reader. They remain disabled until
the user receives another rights-enabled PDF document.
The specific usage rights that you can set are determined by
a credential that you purchase from Adobe. Credentials typically
provide permission to set a group of related usage rights, such
as those pertaining to interactive forms. Each credential provides
the right to create a specific number of rights-enabled documents.
An evaluation credential provides permission to create an unlimited number
of draft documents within a limited time period.
