Congratulations! You have successfully protected and secured your PDF file using the Protect PDF from Copying and Secure PDF File feature in Microsoft Edge.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your PDF files are protected from unauthorized copying and secure them with additional security measures. Enjoy the peace of mind knowing that your sensitive documents are safe and secure.
For the template file, I recommend copying it into \Documents and Settings\[you]\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Edge
The important thing to remember is that it only allows you to encrypt files (PDF and web files) that are opened with Microsoft Office, Outlook.com, Opening or Google Drive. I strongly recommend that you use encryption software (such as BitLocker) to encrypt your precious PDF files, otherwise you have almost no chance of getting them back. Here's a brief overview of what you'll need to create a Protect PDF.Jason template:
Template file: Protect PDF.Jason
File path: path\to\prepared/Protected-Document.pdf
File name: protected-document.pdf
Protected document (the PDF document): path\to\prepared\Protected-Document.. We recommend you to install this extension as soon as possible to safeguard your precious information on your computer. 2) Secure PDF Viewer for Microsoft Edge — This extension is a standalone application, but it enables the user to open PDF files directly from Microsoft Edge using a secure PDF viewer. One is to view/edit PDF files stored within the extensions secure storage, such as the Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat folders. 3) Copy and print Secure PDF — It provides a way of copying a PDF document from Microsoft Edge to the user's desktop without opening the current document. 1) From Microsoft Edge > File > Secure PDF Reader and Editor Extension
2) It will prompt you to click “Start” button and then choose a folder to save the new file. After entering your Microsoft Password, go to “Secure PDF Viewer” page.. And, with the help of our powerful template system, you can get the job done quickly and with confidence.

It's been very pleasant as a university student. One thing that is quite annoying is the scrolling feature - when I scroll on my macbook pro it doesn't really work well. Overall, this is perfect for annotating my lecture slides and readings. As a student, I find it a bit expensive ($72/year) - maybe there can be some incentive for students?? :)

Awesome software!
Very easy to use and great to help fill PDF's and create them. I use this software very often and I rarely have issues.
Sometimes it lags and it can be a pain, but overall this is a great software to use and I don't have many cons.
