PDF Security Types

Password Protection: Requires a password to open the document. Our tool can help remove this type of security.

Permissions Password: Controls what can be done with the PDF (editing, printing, copying). This restricts functionality even if the document can be opened.

Digital Signatures: Encrypt and authenticate documents with digital certificates. Different from simple password protection.
