The Syncfusion [.NET PDF Library](https://www.syncfusion.com/document-processing/pdf-framework/net/pdf-library ".NET PDF Library") offers a comprehensive solution for securing PDF documents and ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information. Users can leverage the PDF Library to implement various security measures and safeguard their PDF files.

The framework also empowers users to apply permissions and restrictions to PDF documents, granting precise control over various actions, including printing, copying, modifying, and content extraction. This capability lets document owners control their PDF files, preventing unauthorized distribution or modification.

Users can encrypt their PDF documents using the following encryption algorithms:

- Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4)
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

In this article, we will delve into the capabilities of the Syncfusion .NET PDF Library to secure PDF documents. We will cover the following topics:

- [Encrypt PDF documents with a user password](#Encrypt)
- [Encrypt PDF documents with an owner’s password](#PDF)
- [Protect a PDF document](#Protect)
- [Change the password of a PDF document](#Change)
- [Change the permissions of a PDF document](#Permission)
- [Protect attachments in a PDF document](#Attachments)
- [Remove the password from a PDF document](#Remove)

## Getting started with app creation

1.First, [create a .NET console application](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/with-visual-studio?pivots=dotnet-7-0 "Creating a .NET console app using Visual Studio") using [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/ "Visual Studio").  
2.Go to **Tools -> NuGet package Manager -> Package Manager Console** and open the **Package Manager Console**.  
3.Next, execute the following command to install the [Syncfusion.Pdf.Net.Core](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Syncfusion.Pdf.Net.Core "Syncfusion.Pdf.Net.Core NuGet package") NuGet package.
```
Install-Package Syncfusion.Pdf.Net.Core
```

## <a name="Encrypt">Encrypt a PDF document with a user password</a>

By setting a user password for a PDF document, you can prevent unauthorized individuals from opening or viewing it. When attempting to open the PDF document, Adobe Acrobat or Reader will prompt the user to enter the user password.

If the user password entered is incorrect, the document will remain inaccessible. This way, you can effectively secure your PDF documents.

Follow these steps to encrypt PDF documents with a user password:

1.Create a new PDF document using the [PdfDocument](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfDocument.html "PdfDocument class of .NET PDF Library") class.
2.Then, add a new blank page using the [PdfPage](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfPage.html "PdfPage class of .NET PDF Library") class.
3.Create an instance of the [PdfSecurity](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Security.PdfSecurity.html "PdfSecurity class of .NET PDF Library") class.
4.Specify the [**Algorithm**](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Security.PdfEncryptionOptions.html "Algorithm property of .NET PDF Library") property as RC4 through the [PdfEncryptionAlgorithm](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Security.PdfEncryptionAlgorithm.html "PdfEncryptionAlgorithm enum of .NET PDF Library") enum and the [KeySize](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Security.PdfSecurity.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Security_PdfSecurity_KeySize "KeySize property of .NET PDF Library") property as 40bit or 128bit through the [PdfEncryptionKeySize](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Security.PdfEncryptionKeySize.html "Enum PdfEncryptionKeySize of .NET PDF Library") enum in the [PdfSecurity](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Security.PdfSecurity.html "PdfSecurity class of .NET PDF Library") _class._
5.Set the [UserPassword](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Security.PdfSecurity.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Security_PdfSecurity_UserPassword "UserPassword property of .NET PDF Library") property of the [PdfSecurity](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Security.PdfSecurity.html "PdfSecurity class of .NET PDF Library") class.
6.Add some text using the [DrawString](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Graphics_PdfGraphics_DrawString_System_String_Syncfusion_Pdf_Graphics_PdfFont_Syncfusion_Pdf_Graphics_PdfBrush_System_Drawing_PointF_Syncfusion_Pdf_Graphics_PdfStringFormat_ "DrawString method of .NET PDF Library") method of the [PdfGraphics](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html "PdfGraphics class of .NET PDF Library") class.
7.Finally, save the PDF document to the memory stream.

Refer to the following code example to encrypt the PDF document with a [UserPassword](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.Pdf.Security.PdfSecurity.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Security_PdfSecurity_UserPassword "UserPassword property of .NET PDF Library").

```csharp
//Create a new PDF document.
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
//Add a page to the document.
PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add();
//Create PDF graphics for the page.
PdfGraphics graphics = page.Graphics;

//Create instance of document security.
PdfSecurity security = document.Security;
//Specifies key size, encryption algorithm and user password.
security.KeySize = PdfEncryptionKeySize.Key128Bit;
security.Algorithm = PdfEncryptionAlgorithm.RC4;
security.UserPassword = "password";
//Draw the text.
graphics.DrawString("Encrypt PDF with user password and RC4 128bit keysize", new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 20f, PdfFontStyle.Bold), PdfBrushes.Black, new PointF(0, 40));

//Save the document into stream.
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
document.Save(stream);
//Close the document.
document.Close(true);
```

By executing the previous code example, our PDF document will be protected with a user password, showing the security settings as follows.
