Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between open password and permissions?
An open password is required to view the PDF. Permissions
control what users can do after opening (print, copy, modify). You can set both
or just one.
Can I remove protection later?
Yes, use our PDF Unlock tool to remove password protection.
You'll need the password to remove it. Keep your passwords safe!
Is the protection secure?
PDF password protection uses 128-bit encryption. While
secure for most purposes, determined attackers with specialized tools may be
able to crack simple passwords. Use strong, unique passwords for sensitive
documents.
