Encrypting a PDF File
In order to protect your PDF file, you will need to upload it to our conversion tool. Once this is complete, you can add a password to the file. After having saved the changes, and we have set a password for your file, your new PDF file will be 100% encrypted and protected from prying eyes.
Upload and Download Encryption
A secure SSL connection is utilized to upload your file from your local hard-drive to us. Once we have created the protected PDF file for you, and you have initiated a download, another SSL encrypted connection will be setup.

Safety is in numbers
When protecting a PDF file, the length of the password is adamant to keep unwanted individuals from gaining access to your file. Our recommendations are always to have a minimum of 9 characters, including alphanumeric characters, mixed use of capital letters and signs.
Cloud and Password
