Encrypting a PDF File

Overview

Encrypting files adds an extra layer of security when sending files.  It ensures those who need access to it can open them and those that are not able to not see potentially sensitive information. Set a password on a PDF file and use the AES 256 encryption algorithm to encrypt the file.

Example

1. In a Designer Project, click CREATE FLOW and select Flow. Name the Flow and click CREATE.

3. On the Properties panel, set the PDF Document field from Unknown to Constant and select a PDF file. Select the Value checkbox under the Use AES256 field and enter "password%" for the User Password field.
   
4. Connect the Done step to the End step.
   
5. Click Save to save changes to the Flow.
