Hello Mastodon community,

I need your collective wisdom/knowledge. I’m looking for #software that allows me to open and view #pdf files on a #Linux distribution and #encrypt them with a password. I’d like to be able to not only define who is allowed to view the file at all, but also to protect specific permissions with the password (print permission, copy permission).
With #qpdf, I can configure this very easily via the terminal.
However, I need a piece of software – preferably open source – that offers this with a graphical user interface. Do you know of any such software?

What do you use to encrypt pdf files?

Many thanks in advance.

Although not FLOSS but needs to be bought, it may be worthy to have a look at:
