Hello, i have created a PowerAutomate flow to automatically send me an email with the signed agreement PDF as an attachment upon workflow completion. 

 

The flow run fine, but for some reason the PDF in the email is password protected.  

 

i need the PDF not password protected....help...

 

On the other hand, is there another way to automatically email/download/save the signed PDF without using PowerAutomate?  i tried going into Adobe sign workflow but it is not working for me...

Thank you for your help

Documents will always be protected when signed with Adobe Sign.  No way to "un protect" them.

Thanks for responding.  i should clarify.  i understand it is protected to prevent editing.  however, it is asking for a password to open the PDF file.  and i don't even know what the password is.

 

i need to be able to open the PDF file as-is, without any password

Not possible.  The passoword is set by Adobe exactly for security and legal purposes.
