When converting a scanned document to a PDF file, you can encrypt the file. You can set an encryption level, a document open password, a permission password, and use permissions for the created PDF file. The higher the encryption level is, the higher the security level is.
A document open password is intended to open an encrypted PDF file. A document open password cannot be the same as a permission password. You can enter up to 32 characters.
A permission password is intended to control printing, extracting, editing, or other operations for encrypted PDF files. A permission password cannot be the same as a document open password. You can enter up to 32 characters.
