Securing PDF files

The security settings in PDF Hammer let you lock your PDF files so only users with the correct password can open them.

  1. Open PDF Hammer.
  2. Click Browse, select a PDF file, and then click Upload.
  3. Click Advanced Settings.
  4. Click the Require a password to open the document checkbox.
  5. Enter your password twice.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Click Export Final PDF.

Note. If you want to edit more than one PDF file, you must complete each editing task before starting on the next file -- if you upload more than one file at a time they will be combined together when you export and download them.
