When downloading a PDF, CORE can watermark the document just as it would an image or video. For additional security, senders can apply a user specific password to a PDF.

Configure PDF Password
All users are given a pre-generated PDF password when their accounts are created.
Admins can configure an individual user's password. Users can change this on their own profiles too.
The field is called PDF password. To change it, delete the pre-generated default and add the desired password.
Important: This password is both stored and presented in an easily visible way. For this reason, the PDF password should always be different than a login password. Otherwise, the login password is compromised.
Adding PDF Password Protection to Shared Files
When sharing a package:
Click the Download tab
Select either Download WITH or WITHOUT Watermark.
Under PDF Security, click "Enable Password"
Click back to sharing and share the package.
Download a Password Protected PDF
When downloading a PDF protected document, the UI will display the password that password will unlock it. The file downloads normally, otherwise.
Once the file is downloaded, use that password to open the file.
