PDF Security
The PDFs contain PII (Personally Identifiable Information) data of the recipients. To make sure that the PII data involved is completely secured, TaxBandits has added additional security to the form PDFs.
The PDF links you get in the Response are encrypted, and you will have to decrypt them before downloading.
