If you have confidential PDF files that you want to protect from unauthorized access, using a password in PDF Expert is a simple and reliable way to safeguard your documents. By setting a password through the file menu and repeating it for confirmation, you can prevent others from viewing or using your files without permission. This protection is demonstrated by the inability to preview the file in Finder or recent documents without the password. If you want to enhance security, changing the password or creating a super secure file is an option.
