Notes
- The name of this checkbox changes depending on whether you are licensed for GoFileRoom or for FileCabinet CS and have the application installed.

This checkbox, marked by default, enables you to choose whether or not a password will be required to open the PDF version of the extension. We recommend that your firm uses passwords whenever you send returns or extensions to your clients via an email message. Creating unprotected PDF versions of these documents is intended for your firm's internal use only.
Note: This option is available only on the Print Extensions dialog if you marked the Electronic delivery checkbox.
Mark the checkbox if you want to update the client's status when you print. Use the drop-down list to select the status event that you want to log when the client is printed.
