For This Document Task

The current 8.1.0 applications use a refreshed interface. This page explains the related task and where to find it in the current tools.

Follow The Steps

  1. 1

    Choose Access Protection

    Use Protect PDF to save a password-protected copy when the recipient needs an opening password.

  2. 2

    Confirm Signing Requirements

    For signing, confirm the recipient’s accepted certificate or signing service. A visible name or signature image alone is not certificate-based validation.

  3. 3

    Review The Final Copy

    Reopen the protected or signed document and verify the result before sharing it. Keep passwords and certificates under your own control.

Before You Finish

The current release is not advertised as a forgotten-password recovery or verified certificate-signing service. Use the credentials and permissions required for the document.
