Description

PDFEncrypt is a completely free and open-source tool that allows users to secure PDF files through widely recognized encryption methods. When a PDF is encrypted, its contents become inaccessible to unauthorized users. To read the document, a user must enter the correct password, which is necessary for viewing in applications like Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. This utility enables the encryption of any standard PDF file at no cost, eliminating the need to buy Adobe Acrobat or expose sensitive documents to external servers for encryption. The application operates directly on Windows PCs, allowing users to set a password required for document access, along with various options and permissions that can be applied to the PDF file, making it a versatile solution for document security. With PDFEncrypt, users can maintain control over their confidential information without relying on costly software or online services.

Description

FileOpen's digital rights management (DRM) solution functions as an intermediary control layer within widely accepted formats and applications. This system features tools for document encryption, client-side decryption software compatible with the most prevalent viewer applications, and server software that employs a publicly published control protocol, which can also be integrated into custom solutions. Utilizing encryption techniques that adhere to industry standards, FileOpen applies the methods stipulated in the relevant format specifications. For instance, in the case of PDFs, it employs AES-256 to ensure compatibility with PDF (ISO 32000) 2.0 and RC4-128 for support of earlier PDF versions. When it comes to Microsoft Office files, AES is utilized as implemented by Microsoft through the add-in API layer. Documents encrypted through FileOpen can only be accessed under the conditions specified by the publisher's PermissionServer, which may allow various combinations of permissions such as printing, editing, copying, annotating, signing, saving changes, and applying additional controls. This level of control ensures that publishers maintain robust oversight over how their documents are utilized and shared.
