This software lets you encrypt a PDF document and set owner and user passwords to protect them from copying.
This is a standalone application that lets you protect your digital documents in PDF from. Unauthorized users are prevented from publishing it over internet or to modify them, copy them or change the document in any way. The protection is through encryption and then two levels of passwords. The user password lets a authorized person open the document, read it and save it for future use but cannot copy it, print it (if that protection is set). Owner password enables the holder of the copyright to make changes to the document and no one else! This protects against a user getting content copied or printing it, commenting or making any changes in any way. The encryption to be applied can be a 40 bit strong encryption or a 128 bit one.
The interface could not have been any simpler! You specify the user and owner passwords, specify the level of encryption and set the permissions at user level. This is set by the simple action of checking the options. These include permission to document printing, content copying, content copying for accessibility, form filling and content modification. This is the first page of the wizard which will take you through the process completely. Usually such functionality comes as a part of a PDF creator software. So this piece of software would be useful for those situations when the process for your PDF creation does not let you set this security stuff. If you do have such a situation, this tool is quite handy and should be useful.
