You can easily unlock files that have already been locked. You can only unlock using an owner password - user passwords do not unlock PDF files. You can unlock multiple files with the same owner password by doing the following:

You will see a progress bar at the bottom of PDF Prime informing you of the unlocking process. Once unlocking is complete, all new PDF files will be created. These file will be unlocked and have the same names as the original PDF files, but will have “_unlocked” at the end of the file name. These new unlocked PDF files will all be located in the same location as the first file in the list of files to be unlocked.

PDF Prime also has a file locking feature to set several levels of security within your PDF files. You can lock (password-protect) multiple PDF files at once using a single password. You can also set owner and user passwords - each with different security settings. A common scenario is to lock a PDF using an owner password, but also set a user password to prevent printing or possibly prevent viewing of the PDF - yet still allow a PDF owner to do these things. Once you have PDF files in your file list, you can lock one or more PDF files:

You will see a progress bar at the bottom of PDF Prime informing you of the locking process. Once locking is complete, all new PDF files will be created. These file will be locked and have the same names as the original PDF files, but will have “_locked” at the end of the file name. These new locked PDF files will all be located in the same location as the first file in the list of files to be locked.

Splitting a single PDF file or multiple files is easy. Once you have PDF files listed in your file list,
you can split the files by doing one of the following:

You will see a progress bar at the bottom of PDF Prime informing you of the splitting process. Once splitting is complete, several new PDF files will be created. The files will be split into new PDF files in the order they were listed in the PDF Prime file list. These new splitted PDF files will all be located in the same location as the first file in the list of files to be split. The name of the new splitted PDF files will be the same name as the first PDF, but will have “_page_01″, “_page_02″, etc at the end of the file name.

Merging in PDF Prime is simple and straight forward. Once you have PDF files listed in your file list, you can merge the files together by doing one of the following:

You will see a progress bar at the bottom of PDF Prime informing you of the merging process. Once merging is complete, a new PDF file will be created. The files will be merged into this new PDF file in the order they were listed in the PDF Prime file list. This new merged PDF will all be located in the same location as the first file that was merged. The name of the new merged PDF will be the same name as the first PDF, but will have “_merged” at the end of the file name.
