PDF Encryption

PDF encryption options support password protection of a document and only allow some features to be available to users without a password. Some features are only available with documents that are encrypted using 128bit methods.

Note: The pdf/a standard does not provide for encryption and therefore if encryption is selected, the resulting files will not meet the pdf/a standard.

Can Print

Can Copy

Can Modify

Can Add Notes

Allows the user to add annotations.

The following options are only available when 128 bit encryption is used
