Once a DocuSign envelope is completed, can I password protect the signed document? I need to password protect sensitive documents before emailing them to others.

Question

I can't figure out how to password protect a completed DocuSign PDF whilst keeping the 'signed and all signatures are valid' section intact to prove it is an officially completed Docusigned document. Can this be done?

Hello,Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.I understand you would like to add a password to your documents for protection.Unfortunately, at the moment we do not support the ability to password-protect documents after it is signed as it could invalidate the signature: https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?bundleId=sto1596228661240&topicId=rim1603222617337.html&_LANG=enusLet us know if you need further assistance with this.Best regards,Nathaly | DocuSign Community Moderator"Select as Best" below if you find the answer a valid solution to your issue!
