How to Secure a PDF on a MAC


One of the biggest concerns as a TpT Seller is making sure that your product is not stolen in any way. I know what your thinking…You had no idea that you have to secure a PDF File in order to make sure all of your files cannot be lifted. I am right there with you. When I first entered the design world, I had no idea that you needed to secure your files or even how to do it. I felt silly for not knowing to use these very easy security measures. Don’t worry you DO NOT need Adobe Acrobat or even similar products for this! 

Today I will teach you how to secure your PDFs & how to make sure that your previously created PDFs are secure.

Making sure your PDF files are secure: Go ahead an open up one of your PDF files.  Right click on your image of choice.  If you are able to save this image to your desktop YOUR FILE IS NOT SECURE.



How to secure a PDF file:S imply open your PDF through preview Go to File - Print. Notice at the bottom where it says PDF? clicking this button will allow a drop down menu to appear. Choose Save as PDF
