What is PDF Encrypt & Decrypt?

PDF Encrypt & Decrypt

PDF Encrypt & Decrypt is a handy tool for locking up your PDF files with passwords. You might wonder why I call it vintage. Well, it's been around for a while, and some folks might shy away from an older program. But if you're just after a simple tool to get the job done, this one's perfect!

Simple Interface for Easy Use

This software keeps things straightforward with a one-piece interface. All the functions are right there in front of you—no hidden menus or confusing toolbars to deal with. Just fill in the blanks, choose what permissions to give your document, pick an encryption method, and set your password. That's all there is to it!

Encrypt One File at a Time

You can encrypt one PDF at a time because batch processing isn't available here. The cool part is that you can also tweak some metadata like the author's name, subject, title, and keywords. Plus, there are fields for both creators and producers.

Choose Your File Permissions

You get to handpick which permissions you want for your newly encrypted PDF. By default, options like printing, editing, signing, and copying are all allowed. If you want to restrict any of these actions, just uncheck the boxes—it's super easy!

Multiple Encryption Algorithms

When it comes to encryption algorithms, you've got five different options! There are two extra choices for "no encryption" and "unknown encryption." The popular AES methods (128 and 256-bit) are included along with 4-bit and 128-bit RC4 methods.

Finishing Up Your Task

Once you've checked everything off and picked an algorithm, wrap it all up by entering user and owner passwords. Hit the encrypt button when you're ready! To decrypt a PDF later on, just load it up again and enter the credentials used to lock it down—easy peasy!

A Classic Tool Worth Trying

PDF Encrypt & Decrypt may not be brand new or flashy compared to other options out there but trust me; it gets the job done without any hiccups! If you can overlook its old-school look or fewer features compared to newer tools, give it a shot.
