Document Security

If any security features are turned on by the creator of a PDF document, the PDF file will be encrypted with the combinations of all the powerful features of our most advanced PDF security technology.

Password Protection:

To help prevent security problems, you can set a password on a PDF document before you send or share it. The password identifies the reader or owner of the PDF document and helps warn anyone who views it if the document was modified after it was password-protected. You can also determine whether the document can be modified or printed by applying PDF permissions before sharing the document.

To secure your PDF document with password(s), the owner password is mandatory. When the user password is not set, the reader will not be prompted for a password to view this PDF, however, all the permission settings are still in effect.

To set, modify, and remove the permission settings, you are required to specify or enter the owner password. This password identifies the owner of the PDF document.

Permission Settings:

The following settings can enabled or disabled to allow or disallow readers to operate on your PDF document,

1. Printing in high resolution or low resolution

2. Copying of text, images, and other content

3. Text access for screen reader device for the visual impaired

4. Inserting, deleting, and rotating of pages
