Encrypted PDF file accessibility

https://support.apple.com/guide/preview/password-protect-a-pdf-prvw587dd90f/10.0/mac/10.13.

This link explains how to password protect a PDF file.


The question is: can a PC user open this encrypted pdf file with the proper password in the Windows environment? Lets assume that user will try to open the file using Adobe Acrobat.


Thanks in advance for your help.

Mac Pro, 10.13

Here are the permissions as shown in Reader's Properties panel:
