I need to protect a PDF report before uploading it to a portal or sharing link.

This feature helps you protect a PDF report before you upload it to a portal or share it via a link. It reduces the risk of unauthorized viewing, copying, or modification by applying appropriate PDF security measures.

This feature is designed to help you secure a PDF report before distributing it through a portal or a shared link. It enables you to apply protection so only intended recipients can access the content. You can use it to prevent unauthorized viewing by restricting access with credentials or an access key, depending on your organization’s sharing approach. It can also limit actions such as editing, copying text, or printing to reduce the chance of misuse. The protection is applied prior to upload or sharing, ensuring the version you distribute is the secured version. This is useful when sending reports that contain confidential business information, personal data, financial results, or internal metrics. It supports safer collaboration by letting you share externally while maintaining control over how the document can be used. It also helps meet internal governance and compliance expectations when documents must be protected during distribution. Typical use cases include sharing monthly performance reports, client deliverables, audit documentation, or executive summaries via a portal or a link-based workflow.
