If an email that contains a forbidden DLP pattern is intended to be delivered as encrypted PDF and the email subject already contains a keyword that triggers the encryption, it is still quarantined by DLP. (At least it is happening now with our current setup.)
A user then have to follow the link in 'DLP Quarantine Warning' message and release email from quarantine encrypted.
Is there a way to bypass the DLP filter if the message will be PDF encrypted anyway?

Perhaps I misunderstand your problem but why don't you set the DLP
action to "Must encrypt"? This forces encryption if the DLP rule is
triggered. Or do you want to quarantine if it cannot be encrypted and
encrypt if it can be encrypted?
Kind regards,
