Sending a Password-Protected File

With SmartVault Connected Desktop, you can send password-protected PDF files to any recipient who isn't a customer or guest of your account. 

Before sending, you can change the PDF file(s), including/excluding annotations, deleting pages, and changing a page's orientation. 

To send a password-protected file:

1. Open the SmartVault Connected Desktop.
2. Locate and select the file(s) you want to send.
3. Right-click the file(s) and choose Send to > Mail Recipient. 
4. In Email Files - SmartVault, check the box for Password protect and encrypt all PDF documents sent in this email, then click Send. 
5. Enter a password for the file. 

     Important

   Share this password with the recipient so they can access the file.

6. Click OK. The PDF will be attached to an email message in your default email program.
7. Enter the recipient's email address(es). Optionally, you can edit the email subject and customize the default message to inform the recipient of the password required to access the file.
8. Click Send.
