There is no recovery. Store this password somewhere safe before you download.
Your file never leaves this device. Processing happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.
How to protect pdf
- Choose Lock or Unlock. Lock adds a password; Unlock removes one you already know.
- Add your PDF and the password. For locking, type it twice. For unlocking, type the existing password.
- Download. The protected or unprotected copy saves straight to your device.
Encrypt a PDF with a password, or remove the password from a file you own. Both directions run on your device, so the password never travels.
