What is Group Policy?
Group Policy (GPO), a feature of the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems, is a set
of rules that control the working environment of user accounts and computer accounts. It offers
the centralized management and configuration of operating systems, applications, and users'
settings in an Active Directory environment.
Group Policy can configure most system settings, save power by utilizing smart power settings,
give individual users more control over their machines with administrator privileges and increase
system security.
This guide will introduce steps to help you master how t o quickly add and modify the new GPO
template for configuring your installation of Foxit Reader.
Personal Computer Setting
Set Template Preference
Please click Start > Run or use the shortcut key Ctrl + R and type gpedit.msc to open Group
Policy Editor.
Right-click the management template and choose Add/Remove Template in the context
menu. In the opened dialogue box, add the group policy template of Foxit Reader (Foxit
Reader.adm). The Foxit Corporation template will appear in the left navigation pane and you

Other options are configured in the same fashion.
Note: Group Policy setting includes computer configuration and user configuration.
Computer configuration takes precedence over user configuration. The application will use the
computer configuration if both the computer and user configure a specific function at the same
time. Please note that if the option Disabled is a valid configuration, the setting will be shown in
the help information. If not, the corresponding registry entry will be removed as selecting
Unconfigured. (The value of the option Disabled in the Group Policy Template of Foxit Enterprise
Reader is invalid.)
