Password Security
Using AVS Document Converter you can secure your output PDF files with a password, so that you will be able to control the access to
your personal and work documents. There are two different types of password protection:
Open file. You can lock your files with a Document Open password (also known as a User password), so that only a person who
knows the correct password will be able to open and view the document.
File usage permissions. You can lock your files and disallow users to perform various operations, so they won't be able to edit,
print or copy content of the protected document.
Open the Format Settings section of the Working Area double-clicking the
section header or using the black arrow next to the section name.

Note: this section is available only for .pdf output file format.

Check the Permissions box to turn the password security on.

Enter the Owner Password in the Owner field. The Owner Password allows the owner of the document to access various permissions
from within a PDF viewing application.
Enter the User Password in the User field. In order to open the created PDF document users must enter this password before being able
to view the file.

Note: the Owner and User passwords cannot be the same.

Note: a strong password consists of a combination of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Your
password may contain a maximum of 32 characters.

You can set any combination of restrictions according to the things you wish to disallow.
Once the password is set, select the Output Directory to store the protected files and click the Convert Now! button.

Renaming Documents
AVS Document Converter gives you the possibility to quickly rename a series of files to easily organize the converted files later and not
to mix the files up. By default the program keeps the original file name.
To rename the documents imported into the program, click the black arrow
next to the Rename section of the Working Area or double-click the section
header.

Note: this section is available for all supported types of text and
image files. See a full list of supported formats on the Converting
Documents page.

Select the Text+Counter or Counter+Text preset from the drop-down list. After choosing one of these presets type your own text in
the appropriate field. The example of the file name you'll get is displayed next to the Output Name field.
When the Batch Conversion process is complete, you'll find the renamed documents within the destination directory.
