By securing the integrity and/or visibility of the published document, —locking PDF document’ helps ensure that the document is not altered after publication (for example, a publisher can't change the author's name and add the author to other people's publications, or even change the original title of the document). The terms “PDF locking” as used herein mean the locking of a PDF file using a proprietary document locking mechanism and that does not include the use of a PDF file manager or open-source tools developed by someone who does not hold patent or copyright on the PDF file locking technology (or any part thereof). The following are a few reasons why you can't lock a PDF file (and how other PDF file owners can prevent or disable the use of their PDF document through means such as a license, a link or an annotation):

Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
What happens when you lock a PDF?
Locking a PDF can protect the integrity of a document. If you have made comments on a document, or approved a specific version of a document before exporting it as a PDF, locking the PDF from editing can prevent anyone from making changes afterwards.
How do you add security to a PDF?
Choose File > Open, and open the SBR_Logo. Choose File > Save As, name the file SBR_Logo1. Click the Secure task button (with the padlock icon), and choose Show Security Properties. From the Security Method menu, choose Password Security. Select your compatibility level from the Compatibility menu.
How do you add a password to a folder?
In Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder you want to password-protect. Right-click on the folder. Select Properties from the menu. On the dialog that appears, click the General tab.
