If you have been following the business papers closely you would have come across numerous incidents of data theft and hacking being reported at a frequent rate. In a world where your information is constantly under threat the need to protect valuable documents is always evident. With the PDF format emerging as a hot favorite for creating official documents, applications like PDF Document Security Tool 1.0.1.4 have come into vogue. This remarkable application essentially secures your PDF document by enforcing stringent encryption standards and thus saves your privacy.
When you launch the PDF Document Security Tool 1.0.1.4 program you can sight a neat interface with a bunch of options placed in the bottom pane. From the top pane you can start by adding the files you wish to encrypt and loading them into the software. Once a file or a set of files have been added you can choose to enforce a user password or even an owner password which would restrict people from opening the document. Next you can choose the specific restrictions that you would like to enforce which may include preventing copying of content or form filling. Based on your need you can choose the encryption standard and AES is ideally suited for latest versions of PDF documents. Next you need to set the output path and click on the Encrypt PDF button to complete the process. Apart from the host of standard security features it contains, the versatile tool can also be used to restrict form filling along with signing of the PDF document. In addition you can choose to restrict commenting besides disallowing the extraction of pages.
In light of its overall usability we allocate the PDF Document Security Tool 1.0.1.4 with a score of four rating stars. The application also earns kudos for its robust implementation of 128 bit AES standard in PDF files.
