PDF Encrypt

PDF Encrypt is a small Windows application that helps you encrypt your PDF files with the aid of batch processing operations, and set up permissions, such as printing, copying, or extracting data. It offers support for several encryption algorithms that you can choose from, namely 40- and 128-bit RC4, and 128- and 256-bit AES.

You are welcomed by a clean feature lineup that allows you to add files in the working environment using the built-in browse button or drag-and-drop support.

The tool lets you build up a list with the PDFs that you want to process, and you can view extra information about each one, such as filename, number of pages, and size.

PDF Encrypt gives you the possibility to select the output location, encrypt documents by specifying the master and user passwords and picking the desired encryption algorithm, as well as enable permissions for printing the document, copying the text and graphics, editing data, adding annotations, filling in form fields, assembling the file, and printing high-resolution items.

What’s more, you can make use of hotkeys for a better control over the entire process and change the looks of the program by selecting from several preset themes.

Tests revealed that PDF Encrypt carries out a task quickly and without errors. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

All things considered, PDF Encrypt proves to be a reliable application that comprises a handy suite of features for helping you encrypt PDFs files and set up different permissions.
