By using the content-based email sending feature, a password can be applied to encrypt the printed and sent PDF document in email. To encrypt the printed and sent PDF document, specify the password in the content of the PDF document as in the following example:
##~~P1=Password123~~
The printed PDF document will be encrypted with the “Password123” password. Users cannot open the PDF document without the password. Using the P1 variable is the same as enabling the 256-bit AES encryption (Acrobat X or later) encryption and setting the “Password required to open the document” field on the Printing Preferences > File Formats tab > PDF settings window.
##~~P2=Password123~~
The printed PDF document will be encrypted with the “Password123” password. Users can open the PDF document but cannot edit it without the password. Using the P2 variable is the same as enabling the 256-bit AES encryption (Acrobat X or later) encryption and setting the “Password required to edit the document” field on the Printing Preferences > File Formats tab > PDF settings window.
NOTE: The “P1” or “P2” must be on the first page of the printed PDF document.
NOTE: The email-based content sending will ignore the “P1” or “P2” if the printed document is not PDF.
