Secret PDF1.0.1.0

You are probably well aware of the fact that PDF files can be encrypted, but these passwords can be cracked with the right tools, and there is no way to ensure only a single user accesses the document when they are provided with the password.Secret PDF is a clever utility that lets you encrypt PDF files using a local key provided by the end user, making it so that the document can only be decrypted and read from the PC that generated the local key.

Create PDF files that can only be opened on one computer

First and foremost, the end user needs to generate a key by pressing the Get Local Key button. Once this key is provided to the document’s owner, he can encrypt the PDF file, which is then given to the end user.An additional key will be created, on the owner’s PC, in the same folder as the encrypted document. The file can only be opened if this key is provided, and only on the computer that generated the local key.

Prevents unauthorized distribution but requires you to use the built-in PDF reader

Thanks to the encryption method used by this program, keeping unauthorized users from accessing your documents should be simple. The PDF file can only be opened on one PC, so sharing it with others will not be an option.However, once a document has been decrypted, it can only be opened with the built-in PDF viewer, which offers no advanced features and restricts copying, editing, saving, converting and printing. It would be great if owners were able to allow some of these actions to be performed when encrypting the document.Overall, Secret PDF is a handy piece of software that provides you with a new method of encrypting your documents, preventing users from sharing them once decrypted. It works quite well, but the built-in PDF viewer could use some improvements.
