PDF Security & Privacy Tools

Security in a PDF is two separate things: encryption, which decides who can open the file and what readers may do with it, and the data the file carries about you — author, software, dates, hidden history. These tools handle both, honestly: passwords are applied and removed with the real standard algorithms, and nothing is bypassed.

Because everything runs on your device, the password you type and the document you protect are never sent anywhere.
