You can apply restrictions to your documents to limit the way users interact with your PDFs. When a user tries to make restricted changes to your files, they will encounter this message:

• To restrict permissions, click on the Secure module, then select Restrict Permissions.

• Choose Secure permissions.
• Toggle the switch next to "Require password to change security settings and access specific functions".

You will need to add a password. Only with this password can the restrictions be removed or changed. There is no way to recover this password should it become lost. We recommend saving it someplace safe. 

• Enter your password and then confirm it.

On the bottom half of the Security Settings window, you will be able to decide which restrictions you want to apply.

Changes Allowed – This dropdown provides a list of actions a user will be able to perform.

Printing – This dropdown gives you control over whether or not a user can print your file.

There is a check box next to "Enable copying of text, images, and other content" If this is selected, the user can perform those actions, otherwise, deselect the box.

• When you have finished your configurations, click on Apply.

• Click the three dots button to set the encryption level.

To remove all restrictions uncheck the box next to "Require a Password to Change Security Settings and Access Specific Functions", then click APPLY at the bottom.

You can see what restrictions are applied to your document at any time.

• Open the menu in the top left corner.

• In the Properties section, click on Security. You will be able to see all possible changes and statuses.
