Protected View feature for PDFs (Windows only)
Note: For a full list of articles about security, se
Protected View provides an additional level of security. When Protected View in enabled, PDFs are displayed in a
restricted environment called a sandbox. This isolation of the PDFs reduces the risk of security breaches in areas outside
the sandbox. Adobe strongly recommends that you use Acrobat in Protected View if you are concerned about security,
or if you frequently interact with PDFs on the Internet.
Adobe Reader includes a similar restricted environment called Protected Mode. For information about Reader
Protected Mode, see Reader Help.
