How to Add Permissions (Owner) Password to a PDF
Add an owner password to restrict printing, copying, and editing of a PDF. Free, browser-based.
PDFs have two password types. An owner password sets permissions (print, copy, edit) without requiring a password to open the file. FixMyPDF lets you set either type.
User vs Owner Password
User password: required to open the PDF. Owner password: the file opens freely but printing/copying may be disabled for anyone without the owner password.
Steps
Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/protect. Upload. Set permissions (disable printing, copying). Set an owner password if you want to lock those permissions. Download.
Use Cases
Distributing a document publicly but preventing printing. Sharing a PDF where you want to allow reading but not copy-pasting of text. Sending a proposal you don't want the client to easily edit.
