FAQ: How to Protect PDF

How long will a 'Share' link be available?

According to our Privacy Policy, the generated 'Share' URL is available for 7 days. After that, all data is automatically deleted from all our servers. If you don't create a 'Share' link, the file will only be available for 2 hours after you lock PDF. Make sure to download it before it expires.

After I password protect PDF, I might need to further edit it. How do I do it?

Worries aside. With PDF Candy, you can simply upload a PDF from the download page to the "Edit PDF" tool, enter the password, and further edit PDF as you need.
