Password types
PDF allows for two types of passwords to be set on a secured PDF file: a user password and
owner password. The user password allows a limited access to the file (e.g. printing or copying
text from the PDF is not allowed). The owner password allows normal access to the file. The
Email PDF password script sets both the user and owner password to the same value, so that
when the recipient provides the password, he can manipulate the file without limitations.
Note
If a template has a Control Script that creates multiple PDF attachments, all the attachments are
secured by the same password.
Note
Via a Control Script it is possible to set a different user password and owner password, see "Control
Script: Securing PDF attachments" on page658, "Control Scripts" on page645 and "Control Script
API" on page930.
Email attachments
Output, generated from an Email template, can have the following attachments:
l The contents of the Print context, in the form of a single PDF attachment.
l The output of the Web context, as an integral HTML file.
l Other files, an image or a PDF leaflet for example.
Attaching the Print context and/or the Web context is one of the options in the Send (Test)
Email dialog.
By default, when adding the Print context to an email, all Print sections are output to a single
PDF file, named after the email subject, which is then attached to the email. The PDF can be
protected with a password (see "Email PDF password" on the previous page).
When adding the Web context to an email, only the default Web section is generated and
added to the email as an HTML file that is named after the email subject.
