About This Tool
Set PDF permission restrictions with our free online permission control tool. Control printing, copying, editing, and extraction capabilities using standard PDF security features compatible with Adobe Acrobat Reader and all compliant PDF applications.
Configure granular permissions: allow or restrict high-quality printing, text copying, content editing, page extraction, form filling, commenting, and accessibility access. Apply an owner password to enforce restrictions while allowing document viewing.
All permission processing happens locally in your web browser. Your documents and passwords never upload to external servers, ensuring privacy for confidential business documents, proprietary content, and files requiring usage restrictions.
Perfect for protecting intellectual property, restricting document editing for distribution, preventing unauthorized copying of content, or controlling how recipients can use your documents. Note: Permissions are enforced by compliant PDF readers—some tools may bypass restrictions. Works with all PDF files from Adobe Acrobat and other applications.
