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425, "Control Scripts" on
page412 and "Control Script API" on page871.
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. (Compression
options for PDF attachments can be specified in the Email context's properties; see
"Compressing PDF attachments" on page171.)
l Other files, an image or a PDF leaflet for example.
Attaching the Print context is one of the options in the "Send (Test) Email" on page510 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).
Compression options for PDF attachments can be specified in the Email Context Properties
dialog; see "Compressing PDF attachments" on page171.
