Questions
PDF Permissions FAQ
Do PDF permissions guarantee that content cannot be copied?
Permissions communicate and enforce restrictions in compatible PDF software, but behavior can vary by reader. Use encryption and careful sharing for sensitive files.
Do I need to install software for PDF Permissions?
No. TapScanner runs in a modern web browser, so you can upload, process, and download the result without installing desktop software.
