Instructions and Help about Encrypt PDF
Sometimes we hear that someone got into somebody’s mailbox, hacked into a database or stole private account information. Any user of this or that cloud storage can pose a perfectly valid question: ‘Are my documents safe?’ or ‘What measures can I take to protect my sensitive information?’ Our answer to the first question is unconditionally affirmative, and if this is not enough, you can additionally protect your documents with two-factor authentication in your Encrypted folder. To activate the Encrypted folder, select it in MY BOX and enter your cell phone number.
You will immediately receive an activation code via text message. Enter the activation code and click Verify to create a password.
Create and confirm your password to open the folder.
To add documents to the Encrypted folder, drag them from any other folder. After you’ve finished working with your protected documents, close the Encrypted folder by clicking the key icon. It will also automatically lock after 10 minutes of inactivity.
To access the documents in the Encrypted folder, you will have to enter your password again.

Don't worry. Very secure. Very secure. Very secure. Very secure. Don't worry. The first time you try to access PDF's in your browser, you are redirected to the default password protected mode. Most of our users don’t have any PDF, so this feature isn’t really that important. When a PDF is opened in your browser, it uses JavaScript to try to read the document using standard JavaScript. The browser tries to render and load a page on the server, it does it in real time (no waiting for a file to upload or download), and the page is cached so that the browser can see the same file in the browser the next time it is accessed. The main thing that stops that page from being instantly cached is the fact that the PDF file is protected by the browser's default passwords, like the default password of Gmail. When a PDF is opened in the browser, it is often the case that the browser is automatically set up to automatically change the browser's default password every month. After the last time you changed your password, or after some time passes that you can't remember what it is, the PDF is rendered by the browser, and then it is sent to the server for re-rendering or processing. If you need to change it, use your existing password, and if you just can’t remember it, consider using a password for your email account.. Print documents to PDF, PUB, B&W, A4, PDF, and Kindle formats, or use our multi-language PDF support, to create new PDFs in seconds.

It was good. Hard to edit one document due to not being able to insert words. It was a lot easier & more convenient than finding a typewriter or printing the form having to use white out for goofs.
