Secure PDF
18.0
Secure PDF Content
Prevents users from copying or extracting text and images from the PDF. This restriction is respected by most desktop PDF readers such as Adobe Acrobat. Online tools or browsers may not enforce this limitation.
Restricts PDF Print
Disables printing of the PDF document for users who open it without the owner password. This protection is effective in PDF readers that comply with PDF security settings. Web browsers might not fully respect this restriction.
Restricts Edit PDF
Prevents users from modifying the content of the PDF, including using advanced tools like Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. This ensures the documents integrity remains intact.
Password Protected
Allows you to set both a User Password (required to open the PDF) and an Owner Password (used to control permissions like printing, editing, and copying). Enhances document confidentiality and access control.
Secure Pdf Allows you to make any pdf report by applying the security to restrict user to edit, print or copy content from the pdf file.

Important Note:
This module uses the following Python libraries for PDF generation and security:
- img2pdf
- pdf2image
- pikepdf
To ensure full functionality, these libraries must be installed in your Python environment.
This module has been tested on Python 3.12.
PDF Security Limitations:
- The module applies standard PDF permissions (disable printing, copying, editing, etc.) using widely supported security flags. These restrictions are only effective in PDF readers that honor them, such as:Â Adobe Acrobat Reader and Other desktop PDF viewers that comply with the PDF specification
Please note:
- Web browsers (like Chrome and Firefox) and many online PDF tools often ignore these security settings.
- Features like print blocking, copy restrictions, or edit protection may not work in those environments.
- Browser-based tools (e.g., PDF.js) and online converters can bypass the security settings by design.
This module is intended for use in environments that respect PDF permissions. If your use case involves browser viewing or third-party online tools, expected restrictions may not apply due to limitations outside the module control.
