DID YOU KNOW?
You control the level of protection within your document
Your document may have been protected using different types of password restrictions or security. Some protections restrict access to the document, or specifically to certain actions, such as preventing the extraction of pages or the edition of the content in the document. Others limit users' ability to create, insert, or delete pages. Password permissions within PDF only allow users to fill in forms and can prevent individuals without passwords from copying or printing text.
