PDFConvert will set password and add restrictions to the PDF file when a PDF file is created from image files or documents.

The password to open PDF is called user password. The user password encrypts the PDF file and requires password cracking to defeat, with difficulty depending on password strength and encryption method. It is potentially very secure. The password to set PDF restrictions is called owner password. The owner password does not encrypt the file, and instead relies on client software to respect these restrictions, and is not secure.
