Unlock policy-protected PDF operation

Unlocks a policy-protected document. Unlock a policy-protected document to pass the document to another short-lived service. For example, before the Signature service can sign a policy-protected document, it must be unlocked.

You cannot use this operation to unlock a policy-protected Microsoft Office document.

Note: When you create long-lived processes, in the Administration Console, configure the process security as Run As Named User. This configuration is required to unlock a policy-protected PDF. (See Applications and Services Help.)

For information about the General and Route Evaluation property groups, see Common operation properties.
