Permissions control what a reader may do once the file is open, such as printing it or copying its text. They are a usage policy rather than a lock, and are best understood as a clear instruction to well-behaved software rather than as security.
They are respected by mainstream readers but are not encryption. For genuine protection, add a password.
A password controls who can open the file. Permissions control what they may do afterwards.
Remove the password first, set the permissions, then re-protect it.
These tools handle one document at a time. When the job is thousands of files, Greenbooks handles document digitization as a managed service, including bulk scanning, OCR and metadata capture, with the output loaded into DocuVenta DMS. Talk to us about volume work.
