Choose your PDF and enter a new password before starting. Store the password safely and send it separately from the document.

Which settings can I adjust in Protect PDF?
Protect PDF exposes new password. These choices apply to this task's output, so inspect the saved file after changing them.

Protect PDF uses server processing rather than local conversion. Your source file is uploaded for this operation and the job is deleted after download. It can run only while server capacity is available.
