Block Specific E-mail Addresses
The plug-in provides ability to block certain e-mail addresses from being used/recognized. This feature is useful when document's contains certain e-mail addresses as a part of text which should be excluded from a recipient's list.
Use Annotations to Designate E-mail Recipients

Review and Confirm Results
Easily review, edit, and modify extracted email addresses, message text and subject before sending documents out to the recipients.
E-mail Support
The software uses either your current e-mail client such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird or SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) Internet E-mail server. SMTP is the de facto standard for email transmissions across the Internet and provides functionality for sending volumes of e-mail messages without user interaction.
Secure Outgoing Documents
Optionally secure outgoing PDF documents with a "document open" and "user permission" passwords. Restrict editing, printing and content extraction. Recipients will be required to enter a "document open" password in order to view its content. The plug-in provides three different ways of password protection: a "global" password that is the same for all outgoing documents, or a document-specific password that is extracted from document's text (and text annotations) using a "password" keyword (For example: password: abc123), or is read from document's properties (custom "Password" property is used to specify a password).
Message Log
The plug-in records date, time, file name, and all recipients for each outgoing e-mail.
Batch Processing Support
The plug-in adds "Auto-Email Document" batch command to the batch processing framework available in Adobe® Acrobat Professional®. This command can be used to add "auto-email" functionality to any Acrobat batch sequence.
Trial Version
