Secure Your Secrets: How to Password Protect PDF Files
Email is not secure. When you send an attachment, it passes through multiple servers. If you are emailing bank statements, tax returns, or client contracts without protection, you are taking a massive risk.
The standard for digital document security is PDF Encryption.
How Encryption Works
When you password-protect a PDF, you aren't just putting a lock on the door; you are scrambling the contents of the room. Without the correct password, the data inside the file changes to gibberish. Even if a hacker intercepts the file, they cannot read it.
Use Cases
- Freelancers: Sending invoices or contracts with personal data.
- HR Departments: Employee offer letters and salary slips.
- Medical Records: Sharing test results with patients.
Client-Side Security is Critical
Most "free PDF tools" ask you to upload your sensitive file to their server to encrypt it. This defeats the purpose! You are handing your secret document to a stranger to lock it for you.
Oratiq's PDF Protector is safer.
