How to Encrypt PDF Documents in Java

Proper documentation, intensive contracts, and extensive manuals form the backbone of the business, though, in modern business, much of this is retained digitally using document file formats such as PDF. Because your organization relies on so many of these forms of documentation, it is integral that you can protect the contents within from errors or outside threats. For the proper precautions to be put in place, utilizing encryption and permissions settings will ensure your PDF documents are only used in ways you deem fit, and cannot be accidentally or maliciously altered by other entities.

Most of the early Internet services mainly provided static content for everyone without login. Later, there were some dynamic services, such as forums, chat rooms, and so on. At that time, passwords were required for identity authentication. Since then, password authentication have been widely adopted by many Internet services.
