Password Protect & Certificate Protect
In Foxit PhantomPDF, you can add password protection, certificate protection, and security
restrictions to a PDF or PDF portfolio, limiting who can open the file, can copy, edit or print
the file, etc.
Password Protect: Passwords allow you to limit access and restrict certain features, such
as printing, copying, and editing.
 Open password: Users must enter the correct password to open the document.
 Permission password: Lock specific functionality when a user opens your file. For
example, you can prevent recipients from modifying or printing your document.
Certificate Protect: The advantage of securing documents with certificates is that authors
can specify unique permissions for each person. For example, authors can permit a person
to fill in forms and comment in documents, as well as permit another person to edit text
or delete pages.
Set security polices
If you often apply the same security settings to multiple PDFs, you can save your settings
as a policy that you can apply to other PDFs. Security policies include the security method,
encryption password, permission settings, and other security settings. To manage this,
click the Security Policies in the Protect ribbon.
AIP Protect (Available in Business Only)
Foxit PhantomPDF AIP Protect feature provides seamless integration with Microsoft’s
Windows Rights Management Services to protect PDF documents and manage policy
templates. If you are authorized you can use Foxit PhantomPDF to open an AIP-Protected
document to improve information security and meet compliance requirements. Once
installed, Foxit PhantomPDF will extend all Microsoft AIP services to all PDF files.
