Restrict PDF

Protecting one's information is of the utmost importance, especially when that data can be used to hurt the owner, financially or otherwise. As most information travels inside PDF files, securing them can prove to be a wise move. Still, if you are willing to share that information but without permitting others to clone it, you might want to check Restrict PDF out. A lightweight tool that can instantly apply a password and impose several restrictions on your documents.

Most users are turned off by an overcomplicated, overwhelming interface, but with Restrict PDF, that's not the case. The dashboard is built as a single-window that holds all the necessary nooks and crannies requested for adding restrictions to PDFs.

One doesn't need to spend a lot of time to figure out how the program works or to idly wait for the restrictions to be applied, as everything can be done in a matter of seconds.

In order to secure a document, one has to first import a PDF file. After that, everything is about checking boxes. Check the Add Password to PDF to unlock the password field. Once added, the file cannot be opened without that combination.

As for the restrictions, they are only three: Disable Printing, Disable Content Copying and Disable Editing. Check all of these or only those you want, but once they are applied, you cannot revert them. To do that, you need a different type of software.

Restrict PDF is an undemanding program that can help you add a level of security to your PDFs, or completely block access to them. Recommended for people who are willing to share their work, but don't want to have that duplicated, copied, or printed.
