Password Protecting a PDF
How to add a password to a PDF document using DraftPDF to restrict opening or editing.
DraftPDF lets you protect a PDF with a password, restricting who can open or modify the document.
- Open the PDF in DraftPDF.
- Go to File > Protect Document (or use the Protect toolbar button).
- Enter a password.
- Optionally set permissions to restrict printing or editing.
- Click Apply, then download the protected PDF.
Warning:If you forget the password, the document cannot be recovered. Store passwords securely.
Tip:Password protection in DraftPDF runs locally — your password and document are never sent to any server.
