About this tool
Password protection is only meaningful if the document is genuinely encrypted. The browser PDF library Pdf2Go uses does not implement PDF encryption, and we will not ship a tool that looks like protection without providing it. Until a proper implementation is in place, use your operating system's built-in export options or an encrypted archive.
