Can authorized users distribute protected PDF documents to others?
Users can send others your protected PDF (encrypted) documents, but other users will not be able to view them unless they have purchased a license from you and registered with the administration server. For this reason, protected PDF documents can be freely distributed, emailed or published on the Internet without any unauthorized individual being able to access the content. In addition, even existing users cannot necessarily view all your protected PDF documents. You decide which customers have access to what documents and what publications. You can assign documents to publications for simpler management, so specific customers can view all documents assigned to a particular publication (all documents in that publication are encrypted using a common key) or you can publish documents on their own (where each document is encrypted using an unique key). If your customers have not been licensed with the correct keys then they cannot view your protected PDF documents.
