There was a time when thieves used to steal your money and jewelry, but now there are digital thieves who steal your data instead of your valuables and then commit banking fraud. In the digital era, PDF theft is being committed. This is the reason why confidential documents like banking are sent in digital mode, but these banking PDFs are password protected. Meaning, that if a thief steals your banking PDF, he will not be able to open it because it is password-protected.

Unlocking the banking password is still easy because it requires a name and date of birth to unlock it. In such a situation, you should lock your PDF document with your secret password, which only you or the people you tell will be able to open.
