Work from Home Series: Remote Security

Document security covers a few different measures that are designed to protect access and discourage improper use of your PDFs or other types of documents. Even when  working from home, you have the same responsibility for document security as you would in the office. PDF Reader provides the following security measures that you can use when working from home:

Encrypt Your PDFs

If the document is secured with a password, only the intended recipient in possession of the correct password will be able to open it:

1. Open a PDF and tap the “More” button in the top toolbar
2. Then click “Encrypt” and enter a new password to secure the PDF
3. Then a new copy without passwords will be saved in the "Encrypt & Decrypt" folder (See the detailed tutorials here)

Send Password-Protect Links

You can password protect individual files via the Kdan Cloud and send them as password protected download links: 

1. Sign in with your Kdan ID on the Kdan Cloud web page
2. Find out the target file and tap “Share File Link”
3. Choose “Password Protected” from the pop-up window
4. Then enter one password to secure the download link
5. Once the recipients enter the correct password, they can download the files through Kdan Cloud (See the detailed tutorials here)

Remove Passwords from PDFs

PDF password protection can be used to protect data from being viewed by any other person. When you receive a password-protected PDF and need to edit the file,  you will have to remove password security from the PDF.

1. Open a password-protected PDF and enter the correct password
2. Click the "More" button in the top toolbar
3. Choose “Remove Password” from the menu
4. Then a new copy without passwords will be saved in the "Encrypt & Decrypt" folder (See the detailed tutorials here)
