PDF Utility
Protect PDF
Create a password-protected PDF copy for safer sharing and controlled access.
About this tool
Protect PDF helps create a password-protected version of a PDF file. This is useful when you want to share a document but limit access to people who know the password.
The generated file is exported as a separate copy so your original document remains unchanged.
