EncryptPDF 2.3

EncryptPDF is an application which enables you to secure your PDF files. It is a flexible, easy to use, and a powerful application, using which you can set permissions, by providing owner and user password to the PDF files. The encrypting is done using the standard 40-bit or 128-bit supported by Acrobat Reader version 7.0 or higher versions.

To use this product you do not need to have Adobe Acrobat software installed on your system. It is very useful and simple to use in batch applications, by setting permission to every PDF file in the archive. This application also allows you to simply drag and drop the files that have to be encrypted. You can thus lock your files instantly, thus stopping sharing, copying or piracy. You can thus give limited access rights to the particular users thus securing your document. For example, if you encrypt the document for a user, by not providing printing permissions, when the user opens the document, the print icon will appear to be disabled. Thus, encrypting the document and not allowing users to print it, but allowing the user to view and read the document. You can also set the document title, subject, author, keywords to a PDF file.

The product allows you to provide two types of password to the document. One is the owner password and the other is the user password. If you access the PDF with the owner’s password, you have full access to the PDF file, and have the rights to assign a password to the user as well. Using the owner’s password, you can print, copy content, and perform all actions on the PDF file.

The user password is used to encrypt the document. A document can be encrypted if the PDF source is not already encrypted. Acrobat Reader displays a key on the status bar if the PDF is encrypted. If you use the user password to open the PDF file, your rights will be restricted based on the encryption settings. For example, printing may be disabled for the user. The other restrictions that can be applied to the file are to prevent printing of the document, copying of text/graphics, and making changes to the document. The product is supported on the following operating systems, Support Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and 2003.
