4.4 Envelopes

You can add security to one or more documents by embedding them in an encrypted envelope, called a
security envelope. Envelopes are simply PDF files with attachments. This method is especially useful if you
want to send a secure file attachment without modifying or encrypting the attached files When someone
opens the envelope, they can extract the attachments and save them to disk. The saved files are identical
to the original file attachments and are no longer encrypted when saved.
For example, suppose that you want to send several documents, including non-PDF documents, to your
accountant, but you don't want anyone else to view the documents. You can embed these documents as
file attachments in a security envelope, encrypt the security envelope so that only your accountant can
open the attachments, and then email it. Anyone can open the envelope, view its cover page, and even
view a list of the contents of that envelope, but only your accountant can view the embedded attachments
and extract them to the computer.
