    Is there a way in proseries professional to password protect a return and email it as a pdf?

    Ive never used it, but the option is there...I use Bullzip and password protect if clients want something emailed.

    If you like the feature and use Professional, you are in luck.  If you like the feature and use Basic, it gets a little hairy - you have to use your own means to do it.  I've never used it, maybe because I used other means before they added the feature or maybe I don't have a lot of faith in Intuit, but I have always used Adobe.

    I too use bullzip and just set my printer options in proseries to bullzip as the printer. Visit bullzip.com to download this free pdf writer that allows you to watermark and password protect any file. Bullzip converts the file to pdf with the options you choose to apply.

    I use the feature, it automatically makes the password (which ends up super long) and has to have outlook or a few other email agents.  I had a hard time setting it up but figured it out that I had a 64 bit system among other small issues.
