I’m sharing a PDF with a client and I want to reduce the risk of unauthorized viewing.

Protect a shared PDF by applying access controls so only the intended client can open and view it. This reduces the risk of the file being forwarded or accessed by unauthorized people.

This feature helps you share a PDF with a client while reducing the chance of unauthorized viewing. It lets you apply viewing restrictions before you send the file, so access is limited to the people you intend. You can use it when sending proposals, contracts, reports, or any document that contains sensitive or confidential information. By controlling who can open the PDF, you minimize the impact of accidental forwarding or sharing outside the intended audience. The feature supports common client-sharing workflows where a document must be reviewed but not broadly distributed. It can also help you maintain confidentiality when collaborating with external stakeholders. Use it when you need to balance convenience of sharing with stronger safeguards around document access. This is especially useful for time-sensitive client deliverables where you want to reduce exposure risk without changing how the client reviews the PDF.
