​ ​ 1. The PDF format is used worldwide to distribute graphics processing documents. However, editing documents often comes with a high cost, as good PDF editors are very expensive. On the other hand, cheaper alternatives lack important features to keep PDFs secure, such as through encryption, digital signatures, or adding watermarks.

​ ​ 2. Secure-PDF ends it: encrypt your own or others’ PDF documents with up to 256-bit key strength (AES). Add a password to open it so users can only view the encrypted document by entering the correct password.

3. In order to ensure that the recipient of your PDF document has the original document and has not been tampered with since then, Secure-PDF provides a digital signature function. Using a PKCS#12 certificate, you can assign a digital signature to a document. Or just sign PDF files via signature image.

4. Secure-PDF can set watermarks and owner information of PDF documents, without even knowing how to use PDF documents in advance!

                                      Master password (master)

The master password (also known as the permissions password) is used to protect the document from changes. This does not prevent the PDF document from being opened without entering a password. If you want to password protect the opened document, you must open the PDF document using the "Password" option:

"A permissions password (also called a master password) is required to change permission settings. Using a permissions password, you can restrict printing, editing, and copying of content in a PDF. Recipients do not need a password to open the document in Reader or Acrobat. They do require a password to change the restrictions you set." (Source: Adobe Acrobat User Guide)

Encryption strength

List box encryption strength sets the strength of encryption, thereby setting compatibility with older versions of Adobe Acrobat. For example, "Acrobat 9+ (256-bit AES)" method uses 256-bit (AES) for encryption and is supported by Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and later.

Password to open PDF document

​​Select this option if you want to prompt the user of the PDF document to enter a password before opening the document.

Note: It is recommended to use two passwords at the same time:

"If you protect a PDF with both passwords, you can open it with either password. However, only the permissions password allows users to change restricted features. It is often beneficial to set both types of passwords because of the added security ” (Source: Adobe Acrobat User Guide)

User password (open)

A user password (also called an open password) is used to prevent a document from being opened. If a user password is set, the contents of the document can only be accessed after entering the password.

“A document opening password (also called a user password) requires the user to type the password in order to open the PDF.” (Source: Adobe Acrobat User Guide)

Permissions

You can set different permissions to restrict access to certain content or features. For example, you can restrict printing of documents, filling in form fields or editing PDF files.

Note: If you open a PDF document by entering the master password, you can change all permission settings and use all functions. Users who open a PDF document by entering a user password (if assigned) or by opening a PDF document without entering a password (if no user password is assigned) will only receive the permissions specified here.
