Encrypt PDF
encrypt() is a PyPDF2 function that allows developers to add password-based encryption to a PDF file. It's useful for protecting sensitive information in a PDF document, restricting access to a PDF file, and ensuring that only authorized users can view or modify the contents of a PDF file. With encrypt(), developers can automate the process of adding encryption to a PDF file in Python.
Let's create an encrypted file encrypted-pdf.pdf and write the example.pdf content into it.
<example.pdf> file:
Swipe to show code editor
- Read in a PDF;
- Add all pages to the writer;
- Add a password to the new PDF;
- Save the new PDF to a file using the
.write()method.
