Lock a PDF with a password using AES-256 encryption, and choose whether it can be printed, copied or edited.
Add a password to a PDF before you email or share it. DocBrisk encrypts it with AES-256, the strongest protection the PDF format supports, and lets you decide whether people who open it can print, copy text or edit it. The file is encrypted on your device.
Use it for payslips, contracts, medical reports and statements you need to send by email or WhatsApp.
