Question
Password protect InDesign documents before publishing
Hello Everyone,
We're happy to announce that the Publish Online feature of InDesign helps you repurpose your print documents by creating their digital version. You can publish and share any InDesign document, from a simple PDF to an interactive document with buttons, slideshows, animation, audio, and video.
Publish an InDesign document online
- Open an InDesign document and select File > Publish Online.
- Select the General tab to add the following information:
Enable Password Protection: Password protection is disabled by default. Toggle it on to set a password for your Publish Online document. Only viewers with a password can access the document.
Note:
- If you are republishing an existing document, select Update Existing Document and select the appropriate document title from the Choose an existing document to update the drop-down list. Change the publish online settings as required.
- You can even apply password protection to your existing online documents. You cannot retrieve passwords for already published documents with password protection enabled.
- If you have forgotten your document's password, select Reset Password to create a new one.
- Select Publish.
You can select Cancel Upload to stop the upload process or Close to minimize the dialog and continue working on other InDesign documents. - After the document is published, you can view it, copy the link, share it on social networks, or visit the Publish Online Dashboard.
Please refer to the Publish Online article for more details.
Thanks,
Harshika
