Good morning,
One of my clients in the medical field has been asked at what level
of security PDFs created with Mac OS 10.4.11 are saved at. A search
of Google, Adobe and Apple has not yielded any answers.
When requested, does the Mac OS create a secure PDF that is
passworded only or encrypted? If encrypted, is it a 40-bit or 128-bit
key? Or something else?
Same questions for Adobe Acrobat for Mac, latest version. Basically,
what levels of security can Acrobat save PDFs at?
References would be appreciated.
Thank you
