2. Click Edit.
3. Under the Protected PDF, tick the checkbox next to Generate Vault Protected PDFs.

4. Select the restriction desired and once the changes are made, click Save.

Once enabled, renditions are secured automatically with a randomly generated password. This setting affects all documents in Vault.
