PDF Security

If you want to send a PDF to someone and not allow them to edit or open it without a password, plus other options, you can do that by adding Security.

Adding / Removing PDF Security

1

Click on PDF Security button which is located on either the Manage Views or Export Views dialogs. In this example we will use the Export Views dialog.

NOTE: Adding/removing PDF Security applies to all PDFs.

2

The below PDF Security dialog will now appear.

To enable / disable security, tick / untick the 'Use PDF Security' button.

When ticked you have a few different options to choose from, set as required and click OK.

You can now export your PDFs and security will be applied.

IMPORTANT: If you are sending the PDF to a publishing house to create a show guide etc, it is recommended that security is disabled otherwise they may not be able to open it in the software they use.
