Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I forget the password?+
The PDF cannot be opened without it, and DCPIXEL has no way to recover or reset it since we never see the password or the file.
Can I restrict printing or copying separately from the password?+
Yes. Even with the correct password, you can disable printing and/or copying permissions when protecting the file.
Is the encryption strong enough for sensitive documents?+
This uses standard PDF encryption, suitable for everyday privacy needs like sharing personal or business documents. For highly sensitive/regulated data, consult your organization's security requirements.
