PDF Champ Debuts Password Protection for PDFs With Full AES Encryption on Desktop



PDF Champ has announced the ability to password protect PDF files in its desktop app for Windows and Mac, giving users an easy way to encrypt sensitive documents before sharing or storage. The feature is now available in PDF Champ desktop software.

Key Characteristics
• Full AES encryption, applied directly to the PDF so it opens correctly in Adobe Reader and all major PDF viewers.
• Open and permission passwords, allowing one password to open the file and a second to restrict printing or copying.
• Batch protection, to password protect multiple PDFs in a single pass.
• Three step workflow – Download the app, select encryption and set password, save protected file.
• Native Mac and Windows apps, built on each platform.
• A free trial so users can test the feature before buying it.

“People want to be confident that when they secure a PDF it remains secure, that the PDF will open correctly for the recipient, — that it opens correctly for whoever they send it to and doesn't fall apart in some other viewer," said a PDF Champ spokesperson. The primary focus behind this tool was that level of reliability.

Availability
PDF password prote
ction is available now in PDF Champ's desktop application for Windows and Mac, with a free trial offered before purchase. It joins PDF Champ’s growing arsenal of more than twenty free, browser-based tools, including an Unlock PDF tool for people who already know a file’s password and want to take it off.
