Common questions

What happens if I forget the password?

The document cannot be opened. Encryption has no back door, so store the password somewhere safe before you send the file.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The PDF is encrypted in your browser, which also means the password is never transmitted anywhere.

How should I send the password?

Not in the same message as the file. Send the document by email and the password by another route, such as a phone call or a message, so intercepting one does not give away both.
