Details

The document property values for PDF security are not changed when you set PDFSECURITY=NONE. The results are the same as not specifying the option at all.
When PDFSECURITY= is set to LOW or HIGH, the value of the Printing document property is determined by the value of the PDFPRINT= option:
PDFPRINT=HRES
PDFSECURITY=LOW
PDFSECURITY=HIGH
Printing
High Resolution
High Resolution
PDFPRINT=LRES
PDFSECURITY=LOW
PDFSECURITY=HIGH

The Printing document property is set to High Resolution when PDFPRINT= is set to HRES or LRES, because the Printing document property can be set to High Resolution only when PDFSECURITY=LOW.
