Frequently Asked Questions

How do I open a password protected PDF? ▾

When you open the protected PDF in any reader (like Adobe Acrobat, Google Chrome, or Apple Preview), a password prompt will appear asking you to type the password you created.

What should I do if I forget the password? ▾

Because standard PDF encryption protects the file stream itself, the file cannot be opened without the password. We strongly recommend keeping a secure backup of your original unencrypted document.

Can I prevent printing while allowing on-screen viewing? ▾

Yes! Choose the "Confidential Vault" profile or select "Custom Permissions" and uncheck "Allow Printing". The recipient can read the document on their screen but will not be permitted to print it.

Are my uploaded files and passwords saved on the server? ▾

No. Uploaded files and passwords are processed in volatile memory and temporary storage, and are permanently wiped after 120 minutes. Passwords are never logged or stored in database records.
