Frequently Asked Questions
What types of passwords can I set on a PDF?↓
Set a user password (required to open the document) and an owner password (required to edit, print or copy content). Both can be set independently.
What permissions can I restrict?↓
Restrict printing, copying text, editing content, and adding annotations. Permissions are enforced by PDF reader software that respects PDF standards.
Is password-protected PDF secure?↓
PDF password protection uses AES-256 encryption. It is secure against casual access. For highly sensitive documents, consider additional security measures.
Can I remove a PDF password later?↓
Without the password, removal is not possible. With the correct password, any PDF tool that supports decryption can remove the protection.
