PDF Tools
Protect PDF
Add password protection to PDF files.
PDF file
Choose a PDF to protect
The PDF is temporarily processed by ConvertTree to apply password encryption. The generated temporary file is deleted after it is sent back to you.
Security
Create an opening password
Anyone opening the protected PDF will need this password. ConvertTree does not store or recover it.
Use at least 8 characters. 12+ is recommended.
AES-256 PDF encryption
A separate random owner password is generated internally. No external executable such as qpdf is required.
If you forget the password, ConvertTree cannot recover it.
