Way 1. Password Protect a PDF on iPhone via Adding Open Password

Using the password function for a PDF document in UPDF for iOS is a really handy way to keep your files secure. This makes sure files can’t be accessed by anyone who doesn’t have permission to view them. You can confidently send PDFs confidently via email, or save them on your device (if you share a work phone for example), or store it on a communal work server.

This will also help prevent anyone else from editing documents without your knowledge. Plus, being able to do all of this on your iPhone is a huge bonus because you can ensure file stay protected while on the go, and you can alter documents from anywhere.

• Once you have downloaded the UPDF for iOS app onto your iPhone, select the “+” symbol in the bottom right corner to upload your PDF file.

• Open up your PDF, then tap the arrow in the top right corner of the app (next to the house icon).

• Then select “Password” from the dropdown menu and a box will appear prompting you to create a password for the PDF.

• After you have confirmed your password and everything has worked, the word “Successful!” will appear on your screen.

• Save the updated PDF within the app.

Please note that if you would like to remove the password, you just have to open password protected PDF and enter the password, tap the arrow in the top left corner and select “Password” again. Once you have done that you will be given the option to either “Remove” the password or change your existing password.
