When to use each
- Protect PDF: Before emailing tax returns, medical records, contracts — add open password + restrict print/copy/edit.
- Unlock PDF: You own the file but forgot owner password, or vendor sent locked statement you need to merge/OCR.
- Watermark: Mark drafts "CONFIDENTIAL", "DRAFT", "SAMPLE" diagonally across pages before sharing.
- Redact: Permanently black out SSN, account numbers, names in legal/medical/financial docs before filing.
- Bates Numbering: Legal discovery, insurance claims, regulatory productions — sequential IDs per page.
- Flatten: Lock filled form fields, signatures, annotations so recipients can't edit.
- Page Numbers / Header-Footer / Bookmarks: Court filings, theses, compliance docs needing navigation.
