Hello, I have created a page that is also protected with a password. I created a link that should access a pdf, which works. Unfortunately, if you copy the link and paste it into another browser, you can open the pdf file. But I don't want that. All content should be protected and not directly accessible. How can I cope?

Hello Remy,

The password page closes public access to one specific page URL. So if someone reveals the password, others will be able to access your content and PDF files. In order to resolve this problem, you have to not only protect your content but also block and restrict PDF file URL access directly so that unauthorized users won’t be able to access your PDF files.

Please check the articles here on how to block PDFs itself and WordPress additional options:
