Do you have a PDF document stored on your computer and need to protect it with a password? Adding a password to a PDF document will make it, so a password is required for anyone to view/unlock the PDF. This can be very useful if you're sending a copy of a PDF to someone that has sensitive information that you don't have the option of redacting. If the PDF somehow ends up in the wrong hands, it can't be unlocked without the password you create. Password protecting a PDF is easy. Follow the steps below.
Open a web browser, such as Chrome, Edge, or Safari and go to this page: https://smallpdf.com/protect-pdf
Click on 'Choose File' to locate the PDF file you would like to password protect on your device. You also have the option of dragging and dropping the file onto the specified website area.
2. Locate and select the PDF document that you would like to password protect. Then. Click Open.
3. Enter a password you would like to use to protect the PDF. Enter it again to confirm. Click the 'Encrypt PDF' button after you enter the password twice.
4. Click the 'Download' button after the PDF uploads and encrypts. A password protected version of your PDF will be downloaded. You can share this copy with others and a password will be required to open and view it.
