SECURE FILES FROM YOUR OFFICE APPLICATIONS.

Keep others from copying or editing your PDF document by specifically
restricting editing in Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.


ADD A PASSWORD TO YOUR PDF FILE.

Prevent unauthorized access to your PDF files by encrypting them with a
certificate or password that recipients have to enter before they can open or
view them.


CUSTOMIZE YOUR PROTECTION.

Apply protections to PDFs with the “Publish Sensitive Information” action in
Acrobat Pro. You can redact, password protect a PDF, and save your file with
edit and copy restrictions applied automatically.


SIMPLIFY DOCUMENT SECURITY FOR YOUR TEAM.

Create custom security policies to help everyone apply PDF password protection
and permissions the same way every time.
