NEW: More secure AES‑256 is now fully supported for all PDF files. NEW: A default save location can now be set for each profile, but it isn’t synced via iCloud.

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.

Quick and Easy

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

I use this all the time in Bible PDF sales

It helps keep my work protected by users name and is easy for them to remember. I had bought Adobe Acrobat Pro 32 bit for a fortune. It was tough to navigate and lock PDF's. This app is smooth and quick and does the job and they update the app for free!
