An Automat-PDF tool

Password-protect a PDF

« Only the recipient should open this document »

A password asked at opening, and the rights you choose.

Windows 10 and 11 · 4.5 MB · no administrator rights

Mot de passe tool with the password typed twice and the Imprimer, Copier le texte and Modifier switches.

The situation

A sensitive document sent by email can be forwarded or opened by mistake.

The solution

Mot de passe protects the PDF with a password asked at opening (AES-256 encryption) and sets what it allows once opened: printing, copying the text, editing. It can also remove the password from a PDF whose password you know.

Step by step

  1. Drop the PDF on Mot de passe.

  2. Type the password twice, then choose the rights.

  3. Protéger le PDF… (Protect the PDF…); share the password by another means than email.
