You can add password security to PDFs to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive information. You can also customize security settings to restrict editing, modifying, printing, or copying the content of your PDF files. With Adobe Acrobat, you get advanced security features to keep your work as safe as possible.
Document security matters. If you’re working in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, or PowerPoint, you can turn your document into a protected PDF document without even leaving the application.
When PDF password protection is no longer needed, it’s just as easy to remove it as it was to add it. If you own the document or have permission, protected PDF files can be unlocked with the correct password, and security options can then be adjusted as needed. Adobe keeps your original document perfectly intact.
Acrobat gives you instant access to the essential PDF tools you need — across desktop, devices, and the web. You can also protect PDFs with minimal effort from anywhere using the mobile app on an Android device. See how easy it is to streamline workflows and to be assured that every PDF is as secure as you want it to be.
More than five million organizations around the world rely on Adobe Acrobat to quickly create, view, and edit PDFs from anywhere with easy cross-platform compatibility. It’s also the easiest way to protect any PDF to prevent unauthorized access or actions within the document. Businesses also use Adobe tools to safely send PDFs for digital signature or e-signature every day. Get more done, more securely, with Adobe.
