How do I setup security policies without Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management?

Question

Hi Guys,
First of all I  want to excuse for my english language skills . We have about 30 Users which are using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. Our management board defined security policies for PDF files. We exported the security policies  (Edit -> Preferences -> Security -> Security Settings -> Export). Then we got a file with the extension 'acrobatsecuritysettings'. Next we moved that file to a folder which everybody has read permissions. We ticked at a test computer "load security settings from a server" and type in the path to the file in this way:
smb://server/share/filename.acrobatsecuritysettings
I guess the syntax is correct but there are no security policies at 'Tools -> Protection -> Encrypt -> Manage Security Policies'. Any ideas?
I am very thankful for each reply.

Interesting. Adobe obviously feel that smb is a URL - sorry, no idea what form their URL would take. You could double check that it is accessible with no username or password (i.e. guest access) since you have put no credentials in the URL.
For the intranet (htp) server - you could put it anywhere within the files making up the site. For instance you could create a folder private inside the web root, and put the file in there. You can type the URL in a browser to make sure it serves the credential file.
