Secure Sensitive PDFs Before Problems Start
Apply encryption, passwords, redaction, and permissions to secure sensitive information and maintain compliance across every document.
Security That Goes Beyond Passwords
From encryption to redaction, protect your documents at every level with tools designed for enterprise security requirements.
Control Who Sees What
Apply certificate-based protection with granular permissions to control printing, editing, and copying.
Permanently Remove Sensitive Data
Redaction and whiteout tools that completely eliminate content—not just hide it—ensuring sensitive information is gone forever.
Help with Compliance
Meet regulatory requirements with Microsoft RMS integration, audit trails, and enterprise security policies.
Protect Documents in Three Steps
Apply comprehensive security to any PDF with intuitive tools that make protection effortless.
Lock down access and permissions
Open your PDF and go to Protect to apply certificate-based encryption. Control exactly what recipients can do—view only, print, copy text, or edit—so sensitive documents stay under your control even after sharing.
Permanently remove sensitive information
Use Redaction tools to mark confidential text, images, or entire pages for removal. Once applied, redacted content is completely deleted from the document, not just hidden—protecting you from data leaks and compliance failures.
Enforce enterprise-grade security policies
Apply Microsoft MIP protection, trusted locations, and security settings to align with organizational policies. Maintain compliance with audit-ready controls designed for regulated environments and enterprise workflows.
Certificate Protection
Secure documents with open passwords, permission passwords, or certificate-based encryption. Control exactly what recipients can do with your PDF.
- Set separate passwords for opening and permissions
- Choose 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption
- Restrict printing, copying, editing, or form filling
Redaction Tools
