A PDF Utility by PDFTron Systems, Inc.

PDFTron PDFSecure is a command-line application designed to add, remove, or change security settings on existing PDF documents or whole directories of documents. PDFSecure can also be used to modify document information metadata and to web-optimize files through a process known as linearization.

Key Functions of PDF Secure:

Encrypt any PDF document using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption and Crypt filters. AES and Crypt filters are a new feature in PDF 1.6 (Acrobat 7).

Encrypt any document using standard PDF 40 and 128 RC4 bit encryption.

Modify security settings (for example, change passwords or security permissions).

Completely remove security from existing documents.

Set or modify document information metadata such as Author, Subject, Title, Keywords, etc.

Linearize and optimize existing PDF documents for ‘Fast Web View’ capability and faster downloading.

Common Use Case Scenarios:

Server-based, on-demand encryption and decryption of PDF documents based on specific security requirements.

Batch processing of PDF collections that require uniform security and permission settings across many documents. PDFSecure is particularly useful in assembling product catalogues, brochures, and forms.

Linearization of existing PDF documents for ‘Fast Web View’ capability.
