  You need to apply the security to the PDF file itself. You can do that with Acrobat, or with a third party component like iTextSharp.

  Apply password protection to the PDF and then send that PDF inside the email. You may have to use a third party tool to achieve this.

  You'll need to password and encrypt to protect a PDF file. The following examples show how this can be achieved using ABCpdf...
  

  C#
  

  Doc theDoc = new Doc();
  theDoc.FontSize = 96;
  theDoc.AddText("Hello World!");
  theDoc.Encryption.Type = 2;
  theDoc.Encryption.Password = "mypassword";
  theDoc.Save("docencrypt.pdf");
  theDoc.Clear();

  
  VB

  Dim theDoc As Doc = New Doc()
  theDoc.FontSize = 96
  theDoc.AddText("Hello World!")
  theDoc.Encryption.Type = 2
  theDoc.Encryption.Password = "mypassword"
  theDoc.Save("protected.pdf")
  theDoc.Clear()

  
  Theses examples use 128-bit encryption.  Further information on Doc.Encryption, including how to set user permissions, can be found here...
