For pdfFiller’s FAQs
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.
There are two types of secure PDFs: user-locked, which means you need a password to view the contents, and owner-locked, which means you need a password to copy, print, or otherwise modify the PDF's contents.
What does a locked PDF mean?
There are two types of secure PDFs: user-locked, which means you need a password to view the contents, and owner-locked, which means you need a password to copy, print, or otherwise modify the PDF's contents.
How do I unlock a PDF after signing?
Click the 'Lock' icon in the upper-left corner of the page. Click the link labeled: Permission Details. In the “Security Method' drop down, select: No Security. Enter your unlock password and click the OK button three times.
Is a PDF document secure?
While PDF encryption is used to secure PDF documents, so they can be securely sent to others, you may need to enforce other controls over the use of your documents to prevent authorized users using documents inappropriately. For example, you may want to stop users copying text or printing PDFs.
Is PDF more secure than Word?
Word documents do not have the same security features as PDF files, which could allow unauthorized users to quickly gain access to secure information. This high-quality software offers effective security that can help ensure the quality and integrity of a document.
How do I hide details in a PDF?
Hide Text in PDF. Click on the “Protect” tab and select “Mark for Redaction”. Then go to the page where you want to hide text and select the text. You can also use the “Search & Redact” option to search for a particular word and hide it on all pages at once.
