Editor's review
This is a software tool that lets you apply encryption and password protection to PDF documents in a batch at a time.
This is a solution that lets you set password protection and document protection to PDF documents. Big advantage is that you are able to do this to a bunch of documents at a time. All the confidential documents that need to be created and exchanged with partners every day, can be protected through this tool easily and quickly. PDF Encrypt tool applies Level 40-bit RC4 encryption and 128-bit RC4 encryption. User password is required to open PDF document sent to individual users. You will need the owner password if you were to modify various permission like printing, document assembly, content copying, content copying for accessibility, form filling, page extraction, commenting and signing etc. E-book security software protects your electronic PDF books from printing and copying. The software is a free standing tool and neither needs the Acrobat products or any other plug-in.
The encryption feature is available through the right click menu also. The main interface is straightforward. You specify the user and owner passwords, the level of encryption and the permissions. Permissions for document printing, content copying, copying for accessibility, form filling and permission for modifications etc. The tool does the job well. But, you wonder why exactly one would need such a product. If you had the Acrobat set of products then, these encryption issues are easily taken care of. If you have one of the many shareware products that let you create PDF easily, most often will have these features included. So, it is unique only for those situations where you want to set these security features to a bunch of documents that are already there. If you do have such a situation, go ahead and give it a try. This is quite a handy tool for the stated features.
