Reviewing Documents with Additional Usage Rights
For email-based reviews, the specification of additional usage rights within a document
enables extra capabilities within Adobe Reader. This enables the reviewer to add
comments, import and export form-related content, save the document, or apply a digital
signature.
For example, when using the
doc
object’s
encryptForRecipients
method, you may
specify the following permissions for reviewers:
●
●
allowAll
: permits full and unrestricted access to the entire document.
allowAccessibility
: permits content accessed for readers with visual or motor
impairments.
●
●
allowContentExtraction
: permits content copying and extraction.
allowChanges
: permits either no changes, or changes to part or all of the document
assembly, content, forms, signatures, and notes.
●
allowPrinting
: permits no printing, low-quality printing, or high-quality printing.
