Security profiles

Security profiles store your security settings, are re-useable, and help you work more quickly. Instead of re-entering passwords or re-adding recipient names every time you use document security, open the PDF file in Nitro Pro and select the security profile from a list. If you use certificate-based security and regularly send files to the same people, security profiles save you a lot of time.
