Protected View

Protected View is a highly secure, read-only mode that blocks most actions and application behavior until the user decides whether or not to trust the document. This helps protect users from potentially malicous content inside PDF files. Protected View is only supported when Protected Mode is also enabled. Protected View is disabled by default. Not Configured and Disabled have the same behavior of disabling Protected Mode Protected View. Users can change the value when it is set to Not Configured.
