# File Type Settings

### General

File type settings contain properties for certain file types which can be used by Mail & Deploy when creating a file of that file type or working with a file of that file type.

**Example:** Suppose you want to create a report document in Adobe PDF Document format using a [Create Report Document Action](/release36/docs/create-report-document) and you want to protect the created PDF file with a password; the fact that the report document shall be protected with that password can be specified in the associated file type settings.

### Adobe PDF Document File Type Settings

The following properties are available when specifying file type settings for Adobe PDF Documents:

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Quality | The quality in which the PDF document shall be created. When set to *High* the focus will be set on quality which may result in larger file sizes; selecting *Normal* will balance quality and file size. |
| Has User Password | Determines whether the PDF document shall require users to enter a password before they can read the PDF document. |
| User Password | The password that users who want to open and read the PDF document are required to enter. This property is only applicable if *Has User Password* is enabled. |
| Has Owner Password | Determines whether the PDF document shall require users to enter a password before they can change the contents of the PDF document. |
| Owner Password | The password that users who want to edit the PDF document are required to enter. This property is only applicable if *Has Owner Password* is enabled. |
