Linear PDF
A linearized PDF file is optimal for web viewing and is structured in a way that displays the first page of
the PDF file in the browser before the entire file is downloaded from the web server. This structure
allows linear PDF documents to open almost instantly.

Secure PDF
A secure, or encrypted, PDF allows the user to control how an output PDF file is accessed and used. All
secure PDF files are encrypted and password protected by an owner and a user. In addition, restrictions
such as no printing, no content copying, no acroForm updates can each be applied to a user.

such as no printing, no content copying, no acroForm updates can each be applied to a user.
You can secure a PDF file so that a user password is required to open it and a master password is
required to change security settings. If you set any security restrictions in your file, you should also
specify a master password so no one who opens the file could remove the restrictions. If a file is
opened with a master password, the security restrictions are temporarily disabled. If the file has both
passwords, you can open it with either one.
