Instant PDF Password Protector is a useful and effective piece of software aimed to help you impose usage restrictions on your PDF files, preventing other people from printing, copying or modifying their contents.

The application’s graphical user interface is hardly impressive, but its basic appearance can work to the advantage of inexperienced individuals, as you will face very little difficulty in working with it.

The main window of Instant PDF Password Protector lets you add the source file, define the output path and enter the string you intend to use for limiting access to your document.

You can add your PDF file into the program either by browsing through your system and opening it manually, or by drag and dropping it onto its main window. Batch processing is not supported.

The utility automatically creates an output name for the file that will be generated, by employing the ‘_protected’ suffix, but you can change it, along with the destination folder.

In the ‘Password’ textfield, you can enter the string you want to lock your document with. Prior to clicking on the ‘Protect PDF File’ button, you can modify the restrictions from the ‘Advanced Settings’ section.

As such, you can forbid printing, copying and contents modification on your document, as well as define a permission passphrase for it. Instant PDF Password Protector also enables you to pick the preferred encryption algorithm between 256-AES (default), 40-bit RC4 or 128-bit RC4. When the task is complete, a popup window informs you of its success.

Instant PDF Password Protector proves to be a handy and easy to understand application which you can rely on for implementing PDF usage limits, allowing you to ensure your copyright is respected. For decryption purposes, you can resort to Instant PDF Password Remover.
