AffinityAppMan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 In Adobe Illustrator you can export a PDF password protected so that no one can open it in illustrator and make changes to it. They can view it, but not change it. Is there a way to do this with Affinity Designer? I can't find it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 There are some PDF editors other than Acrobat that can password protect a PDF. But there are a bazillion free websites & applications, as well as inexpensive applications that can remove such protection in seconds. I do it all the time because sometimes I get PDF ads (and other files) that are protected that I need to make changes to and rather than get the idiots to send an unprotected PDF I just remove it.
