Protected PDF Files
PDF Converter respects security settings applied to PDF files. PDF files can be
protected by passwords and security settings. Two of these settings are
examined by PDF Converter: Printing permitted or prohibited, and Copying
Content permitted or prohibited.
Open password
This grants access to a file in accordance with its security settings.
Permissions password
This grants access to a file regardless of its security settings.
PDF Converter behavior
If you try to open a protected PDF file, a dialog box will invite you to supply the
necessary password. Enter this carefully because only one attempt is permitted.
One of three messages tells you which password is required:
Open password is sufficient
Please supply the open password or the permissions password. The file will be
converted.
Permissions password is necessary
Please supply the permissions password to have the file converted. The open
password cannot be used.
Permissions password is recommended
Please supply the permissions password if possible. This will allow the file to be
converted. If you can supply only the open password, program behavior depends
on which security settings are enabled.
If Copying Content is permitted, text conversion will be performed.
If Copying Content is prohibited but Printing is permitted, text conversion will be
performed only if Convert Page with OCR was enabled.
If both Copying Content and Printing are prohibited, pages will be trasferred as
images (non-editable result) regardless of the Convert Page with OCR setting.
This information is true for both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption.
