I need to share a PDF but I do not want anyone who receives the link or email to open it without permission.

This feature lets you share a PDF while restricting access so only authorized people can open it. It reduces the risk of unintended forwarding, link sharing, or accidental exposure of sensitive information.

This feature is designed for securely sharing a PDF when you need control over who can view it. Instead of relying on a simple link that anyone can open, it requires the recipient to be permitted before the document can be accessed. You can use it when sending a PDF by email or sharing a link, especially when the content is confidential or time-sensitive. It helps protect documents from being opened by unintended recipients if an email is forwarded or a link is copied. This is useful for contracts, proposals, financial statements, internal reports, and HR or legal documents. It also supports safer collaboration by ensuring only the right people can review the same file. The main benefit is improved privacy and reduced risk of data leakage without changing your sharing workflow. It is appropriate for both one-to-one sharing and controlled distribution to a defined audience. Overall, it provides a straightforward way to share PDFs while maintaining permission-based access.
