Encrypt PDF
NewApply military-grade 256-bit AES encryption to your PDF files. Set both a user password (required to open the document) and an owner password (required to print, copy, or modify). Choose specific permission levels to control exactly what recipients can do with the document. All encryption happens locally in your browser — your document and password never touch a server.
