A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Protect PDF with a Password

Create an encrypted copy that requires a password to open. The original is kept unchanged.

  1. Choose your PDF.

  2. Enter a new password of at least eight characters. For an encrypted input, also provide its existing password in Advanced.

  3. Protect and download the file. Test the password before sharing it.

Keep passwords separately

DocPixel does not store or recover document passwords. Send a password through a different channel from the protected document when appropriate.

Common questions

Does this upload my PDF?

No. File contents are processed in this browser. Download and review the result before closing the tab.

Will signed PDFs remain valid?

Editing or rewriting a digitally signed PDF can invalidate its signature. Keep the signed original and check the requirements of the receiving party.
