Yes. When you password protect a PDF after signing, you can set permissions that prevent any further editing or modification. This ensures that your signature remains a permanent, tamper-evident part of the document.

If you set an 'Open Password,' the recipient will need it to view the entire document. If you set a 'Permission Password,' they can view the file and your signature but will be restricted from making any changes to it.

Absolutely. Encryption actually enhances the legal standing of the document by providing proof that the content has not been altered since the signature was applied. Every signed and protected file includes a full audit trail.
