Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prevent printing?
Yes. You can disable printing, copying text, and editing individually.
What is an owner password?
The owner password controls who can change the permission settings. It's different from the open password that restricts viewing access.
Can recipients bypass permissions?
Permission restrictions are enforced by PDF readers. Most commercial readers respect them, but some tools may bypass restrictions. For stronger protection, use encryption.
Can I allow form filling but prevent editing?
Yes. Set granular permissions to allow form filling and signing while preventing content editing, printing, or text copying.
