Control over who can access the document

  • This can be particularly useful for documents that contain sensitive information which should only be viewed by authorized individuals.

Secure sharing of documents

  • Password Protection provides a secure and easy way to share sensitive documents with clients or colleagues.
  • By setting a unique password, you can ensure that only those who are intended to see the document can do so, and can prevent the document from being accessed by anyone who might have intercepted it.
