Common questions

What is the difference between AES-256 and AES-128?

Both are strong encryption. AES-256 is the newest standard and the best choice. Use AES-128 only if the person opening the file uses an old PDF viewer.

Can I remove the password later?

Yes. Use the Unlock PDF tool with the same password to get an unprotected copy.

Is my password stored?

No. The password is used once to encrypt the file and is not saved anywhere.
