What is Permission Editor?
Permission Editor sets PDF document permissions — controlling whether the document can be printed, modified, or copied. It applies an owner password using pdf-lib's encryption support to enforce these restrictions. The permissions take effect in PDF readers that honor permission flags.
How to Use Permission Editor
- Upload your PDF file.
- Choose which permissions to enable: Printing (high resolution), Modifying, and Copying.
- Set an owner password (defaults to a placeholder if left blank).
- Click Set Permissions. The tool saves the PDF with the new permission flags.
- Download the result as
permissions-set.pdf.
Why Use Permission Editor?
PDF permissions let you control what readers can do with your document without requiring a full password to open it. This is common in business workflows where documents need to be viewable but not editable, or printable but not copyable.
Privacy & Security
Your files never leave your browser. Permissions are applied entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded to Racira's servers, no copies are stored in the cloud, and no file data is transmitted at any point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are PDF permissions unbreakable?
PDF permission flags are advisory — they work in compliant readers (Adobe Acrobat, most modern PDF viewers) but can be ignored by non-compliant tools. For stronger protection, combine permissions with an owner password that prevents unauthorized removal of the restrictions.
