Encryption software recommendations

I’m trying to learn the best way to encrypt loan documents sent as a .pdf attachment via e-mail. Does anyone have any recommendations for good software to use for this process?

I use Primo PDF. It’s free. It sits on your desktop as an icon. First you set the preferences to the password you want. Then you drag the file onto the icon and specify where you want the encrypted file to be saved.

You can use Encrypto https://macpaw.com/encrypto it’s free, you and your client need to install on your pc or Mac to use it.

Easy to use and fast.

I wouldn’t bother with a method that requires the recipient to install any out-of-the-ordinary software. The recipient

  • may not know how to install software
  • may not believe me if I say the software is safe
  • may not have time to bother installing the software
  • may not be allowed to install software.
