You can limit access to an RB-PDF Transcript by setting passwords and restricting certain features, such as printing and editing.

To restrict transcript access and set permissions, check the transcript box(es) in the PDF Transcript window, then click Set Security.
In the Set Security popup, if you would like to restrict what recipients can do with the transcript, set a *Change Permission Password and define what it prohibits transcript readers from doing.
