Can only password protect system generated PDFs

FileCabinet CS can only password protect system generated PDFs. If you try to password protect an embedded document through
File
Send to
E-mail recipient
 or
File
Send to
File
, you will get the following message:
You have selected to password protect system generated PDF files and some or all of the selected documents will not be sent as system generated PDF files based on the document type or the options selected on this dialog. Only system generated PDF files will be password protected.

System generated PDFs

  • Documents scanned into FileCabinet CS.
  • Documents printed from integrated CS Professional Suite products.
  • Documents printed using the FileCabinet CS print driver.

Password protecting an embedded document

  • Password protect the document in the source program and re-embed it into FileCabinet CS.
  • Password protect the document after exporting it.
    note
    This will only work if you are using the
    Send to File
     option
  • Scan or print the document into FileCabinet CS rather than embedding the document. There are two ways to accomplish this.
  • Reprint the document to FileCabinet CS
    1. Select the embedded document and go to
      File
      Print
      . Select
      FileCabinet CS
       in the
      Print
       dialog.
    2. Select
      To Cabinet
      .
    3. Unmark the printer checkbox and choose the folder where you want this printed copy of the document to be stored.
    4. Select
      To Cabinet
      .
  • Drag and drop
    1. Drag and drop the embedded document outside of FileCabinet CS, then drag it back into the folder where you want it to be stored.
    2. Choose
      Print a static copy to FileCabinet CS only
       and select
      Ok
      .
