+# Using PdfEncrypt and PdfDecrypt Script
+
+## Steps to encrypt the PDF file :
+
+1. run the script `PdfEncrypt.py` and pass the path of the file as an argument.  
+Example :  
+    ```
+    python PdfEncrypt.py ./test_file.pdf
+    ```
+
+2. Enter the password when prompted.  
+  
+    ___NOTE : The password should satisfy the following criteria :___
+    - at least 8 characters in length
+    - at least one lowercase character
+    - at least one uppercase character
+    - at least one digit (0-9)
+    - at least one special character [@_!#$%^&*()<>?/\|}{~:]  
+
+    ___Otherwise the password will be classified as weak and you will be asked to enter a strong password as shown below___  
+    
+    Example : 
+    ```
+    password for encrypting : testpass
+    WEAK Password
+    Please enter a strong password
+    password for encrypting : Test@1234
+    ```
+
+3. You will get the following prompt with the relative path to the encrypted file.
+    ```
+    FILE HAS BEEN ENCRYPTED SUCCESSFULLY. STORED IN ./test_file.pdf.aes
+    ```
+
+## Steps to decrypt the encrypted PDF file : 
+
+1. run the script `PdfDecrypt.py` and pass the path of the file as an argument.  
+Example :  
+    ```
+    python PdfDecrypt.py ./test_file.pdf.aes
+    ```
+
+2. Enter the password when prompted.  
+Example :  
+    ```
+    password for encrypting : Test@1234
+    ```
+
+3. On __Successful decryption__ you will get the following prompt with the relative path to the decrypted file.
+    ```
+    FILE HAS BEEN DECRYPTED SUCCESSFULLY. STORED IN ./test_file.pdf
+    ```
+    On __Failure__ you will get the following prompt
+    ```
+    WRONG PASSWORD OR THE FILE IS CORRUPTED
+    ```
