Standard cloud lockers require uploading unencrypted PDF archives to their remote environments to append key locks. This poses security and compliance risks. Document Alter executes cryptographic operations directly inside your browser's memory context.
The tool processes your document byte stream locally, combining your custom user password with encryption hashes using @pdfsmaller/pdf-encrypt-lite. The security parameters are compiled directly into the PDF's header catalog metadata dictionary, ensuring robust lock integrity.
Drag and drop the target PDF you want to protect into the secure dropzone.
Enter your chosen password in the input field within the settings sidebar.
Click the 'Encrypt PDF' button to run encryption routines locally and save your password-locked file.
Document Alter encrypts your PDF files in your browser using local WASM and JavaScript modules. The encryption process applies user password protection locally, generating a standard secured PDF binary.
Yes. Since the password protection runs completely client-side in browser RAM, your password and your files are never transmitted over the internet or saved on any server.
The tool applies industry-standard RC4 128-bit PDF encryption, preventing unauthorized viewers from opening or accessing the vector document stream without the correct user password.
