Do you need to protect your files from unauthorized access? Do you want to restrict the usage permissions on your PDF files?

PDFKey Pro lets you protect your PDFs in a blink. You can set a password to view the file and a password to restrict printing and copy&pasting of your PDFs. The files created by PDFKey Pro will be identical to the originals and you will be able to open them in any PDF viewer.

PDFKey Pro also allows batch processing of multiple files and entire directories.

How it Works

PDFKey Pro is used by simply dragging one or more files, or even an entire folder, onto the PDFKey Pro. You can even use it in shell scripts or with the Mac OS X "Tiger" Automator.

PDFKey Pro reads your PDF files with printing or copying passwords set and then creates exact replicas of the PDFs, but without the passwords.

For PDF files that have a viewing password set, PDFKey Pro will read your PDF file and create an exact replica of the PDF without any password, although you must supply this password beforehand.

Locking is as simple as unlocking. You will be prompted with a dialog to set your passwords and an exact, but protected, copy of the PDFs will be created.
The included command line and Automator features allow you to insert PDFKey Pro in complex workflows. PDFKey Pro can process entire folders of PDF files without requiring user intervention.
