• greater security, and/or
• synchronizing password schedules for different documents, or
• de-synchronizing password schedules for the same document but different consumers.

• Protect document for consumer distribution by encryption. (E+) This option should always be set, unless security is of trivial concern.
  
  
• Execute unprotected copy of document from a temporary directory. (D+) In order for the document to be used, it must be momentarily decrypted and exposed in an unprotected state.  This option specifies where this unprotected document to be created.  If this option is set a windows temporary directory is used; otherwise, the unprotected copy is placed in the same directory as the protected document.
  
  
• Unprotected copy of document must retain original filename. (N-) If this option is set, the original filename will be used for the unprotected copy; otherwise a windows temporary filename will be used.
  
  
• Destroy unprotected copy of document after consumer use. (K+)  Under normal, secure situations, the unprotected document is deleted immedately after it is used.  If this option is off, the document will remain.
  
  
• Destroy protected document with suspicous file creation date. (C-) This option causes the document to be immediately deleted If it is used when the consumers computer date/time preceeds the document creation date/time.
  
  
• Destroy protected document if used before Earliest date.(>-)  This option causes the document to be destroyed if the consumer attempts to use it prior to the Earliest Date value entered on the 'Advanced' tab. 
  
  
• Destroy protected document if used after Latest date.(<+)  This option causes the document to be destroyed if the consumer attempts to use it after the Latest/Destroy Date value entered on the 'Advanced' tab.
  
  
• OK for consumer's computer to remember entered password. (P-) This option will enable the consumer to ask for his/her computer to remember the password.  The consumer must invoke this option by the right-click Pop-up Menu sequence described below.  If invoked, the password is remembered after the document is used; therefore, only a correct password will be retained, and only after it is entered one time.
  
  
• OK for consumer's computer to remember entered Owner. (O+) This option functions like the remember-password (P) option above.  In addition, any Owners remembered in this manner will be listed in the next option (L).
  
  
• OK for consumer's computer to list all remembered Owners. (L+) This option will not remember the specific Owner for a specific document, but will provide a list of possible Owners from which the Consumer can select.  Please note that even if the previous option (O) is set, the consumer must invoke it for at least one document (not necessarily this one) for any Owners to be remembered for this option.
  
  
• Interrupt document session upon password expiration. (I-) (future)
  
  
• Retain consumer changes to document from session to session. (W-) (future)
