Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server

Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server is a server-based security system that provides dynamic control over PDFs. Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server can be configured to run with LDAP, ADS, and other enterprise systems. Policies provided by Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server are stored on the server and can be refreshed from the server. You must connect to Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server to use these server policies.

While security policies are stored on a policy server, the PDFs aren’t. However, users may be required to connect to the policy server so that they can open or continue to use PDFs to which a security policy has been applied.
