Password Security Settings Dialog Box

The Password Security Settings dialog box appears when the Set up password security checkbox is selected in the Save dialog box (PDF edit screen).

Set passwords for opening or printing/editing PDF files.

 You will not be able to open or edit the PDF file if you forget the password. It is recommended that you write down the passwords and keep them in a safe place for future reference.

 Password-protected PDF files cannot be opened in applications that do not support security settings for PDF files.
