Hi!

I have a problem with the ACROBAT PRO add-in in Word. After configuring in Preferences the level of security required when I try to combine correspondence, the PDF attached to the email does not present any level of security established. This error only happens when I made the mail merge. If I select "Create and attach to email", "Create", "Create and execute action" in any of the cases the PDF is created with the security levels configured.

This is the secutity level configured:

When i select mail merge:

The PDF attached to the email does not present any level of security established.

When I select "Create and attach to email", "Create", "Create and execute action"...

the PDF is created with the security levels configured:

Could you guide me, please?

Thanks and best regards.

Hi Eliud,

Sorry for the delay in response.

I tried replicating the workflow you mentioned above and the resultant pdf doesn't have any security as you mentioned. It seems we can't  restrict the editing of the PDFs or add any password using mail merge

Please refer to the following forum thread discussing the similar issue: mail merge encrypted pdf's.

Let us know if you need any help.
