Before you install
Before you install Document Security Extension for Microsoft Office, read the Release Notes.
Uninstall third-party plugins
AEM Document Security Extension for Microsoft Office does not support third party plug-ins for Microsoft Office applications. As this extension may conflict with third party plug-ins, you must uninstall any non-Adobe plugins for Microsoft Office before installing Document Security for Microsoft Office. Adobe does not provide support for Document Security for Microsoft Office applications with third party plug-ins installed.
System requirements
Refer to the Release Notes, for the system requirements.
Installing Document Security Extension for Microsoft Office
You can download the standard installer, AEMDocumentSecurityExtensionforMicrosoftOffice.exe, from Adobe download website. You cannot customize this EXE file directly, but it can be installed interactively or in silent mode. You must be logged on as an administrator to install the software.
Do not install the software in a folder whose name contains double-byte characters. If you do so, the AEM Document Security menu does not appear in Microsoft Office.
Before installing Document Security for Microsoft Office for an unsupported language, open the Office application at least once.
Install in silent mode
Use a file extractor utility, such as WinZip, to extract AEMDocumentSecurityExtensionforMicrosoftOffice.exe from the installer file. Open the command prompt, go to the folder that contains the setup file, and type the following text:
AEMDocumentSecurityExtensionforMicrosoftOffice.exe /s /v"/qn"
The installer is also available as an MSI file, which can be used for customization.

-
Open the command prompt, go to the folder that contains the MSI file, and type the following text:
msiexec /I AEMDocumentSecurityExtensionforMicrosoftOffice.msi /qn
Starting Office applications on a machine with Document Security Extension and McAfee VirusScan
To ensure that Office applications start smoothly on a machine that has Document Security Extension installed and McAfee VirusScan with On-Access Scan enabled, disable the Buffer Overflow Protection option in the McAfee VirusScan Console.
Preconfiguring the installer to connect to Document Security
You can preconfigure the Document Security Extension for Microsoft Office installer to point to a LiveCycle or AEM server so that users who install Document Security Extension for Microsoft Office can use the features without configuring a connection. As such, users can open protected documents with no configuration necessary. However, they cannot protect new documents until they configure the client to use a particular server.
The following steps describe how to create and configure an MSI file. This MSI file contains the registry values that are required to preconfigure the Document Security Extension for Microsoft Office installer to the LiveCycle or AEM server that is installed in your enterprise.
Prerequisites for customizing the installer
Use the Orca database editor to customize the installer. The following steps describe how to create a custom MSI file by modifying a copy of the MSI installation file using the Orca database editor. Orca is available as part of Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5. For more information about how to edit Microsoft Windows® Installer files using Orca, see Microsoft Support.
It is recommended that you make a full backup of all installer files before you create the custom MSI file.
Install Orca
-
Download the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 from Microsoft Download Center.
-
Double-click the Orca.msi file in the \Microsoft SDK\bin folder.
You also need the MSI variant of the installer file. Contact Adobe support to receive the latest version of the MSI installer.
Opmerking:Always close the AEMDocumentSecurityExtensionforMicrosoftOffice.msi file before running the installer. You cannot run the installer if Orca is using the MSI file.

Click Start > Programs > Orca.
-
Click File > Open, and then browse to the AEMDocumentSecurityExtensionforMicrosoftOffice.msi file.

Configuring automatic application of a default policy
As part of the configuration, you can configure automatic application of a default policy so that Document Security Extension for Microsoft Office protects every document that is saved.
You can specify one of the following options:
- Protect all documents with a default policy.
- Allow users to optionally save a file in an unprotected format when they cannot connect to the server. This flexibility allows you to account for cases when users are creating documents while disconnected from the network (for example, while on an airplane).
After you enable the auto-apply policy feature, the document is protected with the default policy in the following cases:
- User edits and saves a newly created document
- User edits and saves an unprotected document
- User opens an application that opens with a default document, edits, and then saves the document
Configure the auto-apply policy feature in the MSI file
Before you begin, preconfigure the installer to point to your LiveCycle ES4 server, as described earlier in this article.
-
Click Start > Programs > Orca.
-
Click File > Open, and then browse to the AEMDocumentSecurityExtensionforMicrosoftOffice.msi file.
