How to protect a PDF with a password
Contracts, invoices, and personal documents sometimes need extra protection before you send them. Adding a password stops anyone from opening the file without your permission, and it all happens in your browser.
Steps
- Open the Protect PDF tool and add your file.
- Type the password you want to use.
- Start protecting and download the protected file.
Tips
- Choose a strong password and don't forget it — it can't be recovered if lost.
- Share the password separately from the file itself, using a secure channel.
- Keep an unprotected copy for yourself somewhere safe.
