Frequently Asked Questions

When to Use Protect PDF

Add password protection to your PDF before sharing sensitive documents. Protect PDF lets you set an open password (to restrict viewing) and a permissions password (to restrict printing, copying, and editing) — essential for contracts, financial reports, and confidential materials.

Tips for Best Results

  • 1Use a strong password with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • 2An open password prevents anyone without it from viewing the PDF.
  • 3A permissions password restricts actions like printing and copying even if the PDF can be opened.
  • 4Share the password through a separate, secure channel — never in the same email as the PDF.
