Password protection helps prevent a PDF from being opened without the password you choose.

EveryPDFTool creates a new encrypted PDF and does not provide password recovery, so keep the password somewhere safe.

What happens if I forget the password?

EveryPDFTool does not store passwords for recovery. Keep a safe copy of the password.

Can I protect an already encrypted PDF?

The current tool expects an unprotected PDF.

Is the password sent with the PDF download?

No. The password is used during processing and is not embedded as visible text.
