Adjust the Password Security Settings using C# and .NET
In today's digital age, securing sensitive information is paramount. One effective way to protect your PDF documents is by implementing password protection. This article will guide you through the process of changing the password protection of a PDF document using C# and .NET, leveraging the powerful capabilities of SautinSoft.PDF library.
Password protection ensures that only authorized individuals can access the contents of your PDF documents. This is particularly important for documents containing confidential information, such as financial records, personal data, or proprietary business information.
Step-by-step guide:
- Add SautinSoft.PDF from NuGet.
- Load PDF document from a potentially encrypted PDF file.
- Remove encryption from an output PDF file.
- Set password-based encryption with password required to open a PDF document.
- Save PDF document to an unencrypted PDF file.
Output result:
