Automatically encrypt PDF files with SerienmailPro

Secure, Compliant, and fully automated – right from the Add-In

Protecting sensitive documents like invoices, contracts, and certificates has never been easier. SerienmailPro automatically encrypts your PDF attachments using password protection – controlled via Excel and sent directly from Outlook. Whether you assign passwords manually or generate them automatically, your communication stays secure and GDPR-compliant without disrupting your workflow.

The challenge of secure PDF delivery in email workflows

Organizations frequently send sensitive documents such as invoices, contracts, and certificates via email. Manually encrypting each PDF file before sending is time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to scale – especially when dealing with large recipient lists. Additionally, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR requires consistent and secure handling of personal information.

SerienmailPro addresses this challenge by automating the encryption of PDF files using data from an Excel spreadsheet. Users can define or auto-generate individual passwords for each recipient, and the encrypted files are then sent via Outlook. This solution streamlines secure document delivery, reduces human error, and ensures compliance with privacy standards—without requiring additional software or complex workflows.

How SerienmailPro automatically encrypts PDF files using Excel

  • Encrypt PDF files based on Excel data
    SerienmailPro reads file paths from an Excel spreadsheet and automatically encrypts the listed PDF documents—no manual file handling required.
  • Assign passwords manually or generate them automatically
    In the Excel column labeled “Password,” you can either enter predefined passwords or let SerienmailPro generate secure, unique passwords with a single click.
  • Batch encryption without opening or saving files
    All PDFs are encrypted in a single automated process. You don’t need to open, edit, or save each file manually – saving time and reducing errors.
  • Optional backup of unencrypted PDF files
    For internal use or archiving, SerienmailPro can store unencrypted copies in a separate folder while encrypted versions are sent via Outlook.
