Share PDFe Files Via Email
When you protect a document with our best-in-class Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology for PDF documents, a task that usually follows is to share it with others via email. We decided to streamline this process by enabling you to protect PDF files and email them in a straightforward process from within All-About-PDF.
The first step to setting up email in All-About-PDF is to enter your email server settings (SMTP). You can get these settings from your IT administrator, or if you use a common email service, you may find its settings here. To set up your SMTP settings in All-About-PDF, use the "Email Settings" menu from the top-right application menu.
Step 1 — Open Email Settings from the three-dot menu.
Step 2 — Enter your SMTP details, click Save Settings, then send a test email.
Once your email settings are saved and tested, you’re ready to protect your PDF and share it.
Step 3 — Open the Secure tab and select Apply DRM.
Step 4 — Choose your PDF and set its access rules. Click Apply DRM to protect it. To protect and send it in one step, open the adjacent three-dot menu and choose Apply DRM + Email.
