Nowadays, PDFs are everywhere and are used by numerous people. That's because PDF documents have a lot of advantages, like the low hard disk space they take up, the possibility to view them with a single little application, the fact that they can't be modified as it's the case with DOC files. But in spite of these advantages, PDF files are difficult to protect. There are times when you may not want to share your PDF file with other people, when using a shared computer, for example. That's why you should be able to protect it with a password. Or maybe you wouldn't like others to copy the contents of your PDF file but only to be able to view them. There are dozens of situations in which you would want to protect a PDF document with a password.

Estelar PDF Defender allows you to do just that. It's a software for protecting any kind of PDF file with a password. Being a Windows application, it has an installation wizard that looks similar to the one of general Windows applications.

The same can be said regarding the program's interface. One can import several PDF files at once and can protect them all with the same password. Speaking about this aspect, Estelar PDF Defender allows protecting documents with various types of encryption methods, for example, 128 or 256-bit AES or plain 40-bit Adobe protection. Two types of passwords can be used, one for viewing the PDF file and the other for unlocking some restrictions. These restrictions vary from preventing the PDF's contents to be copied to disabling printing the file. Only the correct password will unlock these features.

After making the right adjustments, one can simply click on the Defend PDFs button. After a while, protected copies of the chosen PDF documents will be generated in the same folders as the original files. The interface has a special section, where it displays the total number of PDFs imported, converted and the files that couldn't be converted due to errors.

Pros

It can protect multiple PDF documents at once using a password and various types of encryption methods. Besides that, some restrictions can be applied to PDF files, like disabling printing or copying their contents.

Cons

In the demo version, a watermark is displayed on the protected PDF documents. Estelar PDF Defender is a solution for securely protecting PDF documents with a password.
