How to Protect PDF and Retain Important Data

Every day, dozens of documents pass through our hands: contracts with clients, financial reports, and various scans. We send them to colleagues, partners, and government agencies without thinking: what if this file ends up in the wrong hands?

PDF protection is not just a formality but a basic principle of working with digital documents.

Why can ordinary PDF transmission be dangerous? Imagine you are sending a financial report via email. It seems harmless as the email is addressed to a specific person. But if the email is hacked or mistakenly forwarded to third parties, your document will be publicly accessible, and it may contain payment details, employee personal data, or trade secrets.

Without PDF protection, anyone who gets the file can:

• open it and read the contents;
• download and forward it further;
• edit the text;
• alter the signature and pass it off as the original;
• copy excerpts and use them in fraudulent schemes.

The most reliable way to safeguard your information is to set a password for opening the PDF file.

How to Set a Password on PDF

Step 1. Prepare the File. Before protecting your PDF, ensure the document is ready for sending or storage. Check for errors and save the final version.

Step 2. Upload the Document. Click the "Choose PDF Files" button or drag and drop the PDF into the designated area.

Step 3. Set the Password. Enter your chosen combination of characters twice. Then click the "Protect PDF" button.

Step 4. Save the Password-Protected PDF File. Click "Download," and the document will be saved to your device.

Step 5. Send the Document Safely. If you plan to send the file via email or messenger, inform the recipient of the password separately—via another channel or phone. Then delete the unprotected version from your computer.
