Today when we want to share our PDF files with others, the problem that most people would feel concerned about is the security of the content. If your PDF files don’t have any protection and claim your ownership, it may end up with the results that others will get your PDF files and break your copyright. Without a workable way to protect PDF, fewer people are willing to create and share content through PDF, leading to a less innovative society, which is harmful to the development of human civilization.
But how can we effectively protect our PDF files without complicated processes? The answer is to add a password to it as you do to your bank card for security reasons.
