User reviews

Sehr nützliche und praktische App!

Mit der Version 2 gab es einen großen und von mir langersehnten Sprung in der Weiterentwicklung von PDF Protector. Endlich können mehrere PDF-Dateien auf einmal verarbeitet werden.
Auch die Einführung von Profilen (mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Einstellungsmöglichkeiten) ist eine große und von mir dankend angenommene Arbeitserleichterung!
Auf Verbesserungsvorschläge (256bit-Verschlüsselung und Einstellung eines Standard-Verzeichnisses) hat der Entwickler der App aufgeschlossen reagiert und diese sogar umgesetzt. Vielen Dank dafür!

Auch ein gemeldeter Fehler wurde umgehend beseitigt! So macht die Benutzung einer App Spaß.

Vielen Dank an den Entwickler!

Update sucks

The new update is very hard to comprehend and I feel is not user friendly. I have been using this app for close to 10 years and this latest update is horrible.

Does not work

Avoid this software. It does not work as advertised.

Super

Funktioniert, einfach und gut.

Quick and Easy

You literally just click and drag a file to lock and it protects it while preserving clickable links.
