detail.loadingPreview
Automate the process of securing PDF files with a password and seamlessly store them in Google Drive. This workflow streamlines document protection and cloud management.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the secure handling of PDF documents. It begins by downloading a sample PDF, then applies a user-defined password for protection using ConvertAPI. The protected PDF is then saved locally and simultaneously uploaded to your Google Drive account. A crucial sticky note reminds users to create a ConvertAPI account for authentication, ensuring secure API usage. Another note clarifies where to set the password within the workflow. This template is ideal for users needing to automate PDF security and integrate with cloud storage for organized, protected file management.
