PDF schützen — Frequently Asked Questions

What type of encryption is used?

We apply AES encryption, the industry standard used by banks and governments worldwide.

What happens if I forget the password?

There is no way to recover a forgotten password from an encrypted PDF. Keep your password in a safe place.

Can I set different permissions (print, copy)?

Currently we support open-password protection. Advanced permission controls are on our roadmap.

Will password protection slow down the PDF?

No — encrypted PDFs open just as fast as regular ones, just requiring a password first.

Is this tool suitable for legal or financial documents?

Yes — password protection adds a strong security layer for contracts, tax documents, and financial records.
