When do I need this?
You send a private PDF (salary, medical, contract) and want it to open only with a password, or you have a locked PDF and know its password and want it without one.
Good to know
- Send the password in a different way than the file (for example by phone or SMS, not in the same e-mail).
- We can not open a PDF if you do not know its password; nobody can.
Words explained
- A document file that looks the same on every computer and phone.
