PasswordPDF
Add or remove PDF password protection across a document batch.
PDF Password handles both sides of the access workflow: add a new password to unlocked PDFs or supply the current password to remove protection. Review the selected source and page order, process several documents consistently, and keep each result as a separately named copy.

Why it belongs
Why Password earns a place in the toolbox.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
Add and remove use one clear control
The segmented action makes it explicit whether the batch is receiving a new password or being unlocked with an existing one.
Password text stays concealed
Secure entry prevents the value from appearing in the normal interface or screenshots.
The document remains inspectable when possible
Unlocked sources show a real page preview and thumbnail deck before the access change is written.
Sources remain separate
Protected and unlocked results receive unique names, leaving the original PDFs intact.
