Does password-protecting a Pages document also encrypt it?

I know that there are some programs out there that let you set a password but don't actually encrypt the files *cough*Day One*cough*. Does Pages encrypt documents? And if so, with what encryption?

Another method is to save it as a password locked PDF.
From your open Document, Print,
click on the PDF dropdown
Save as PDF
Click Security Options and set a password.
Save.
Whether this suits your needs I don't know. I thought I'd throw it in there.

How do i password protect a pages document?

i have a document that i created in pages. it is a worksheet for brides (we are wedding photographers). i use to have the document set up so when i email the document to a client, they can read the questions/timeline but cannot edit my text. i have cells in tables that they can answer in. the cells were grey in color. the way i did this was by maybe putting a password on the document (which left the area grey for them to respond in). but i cannot remeber how i did this. i'm wondering if anyone knows what i'm talking about and/or how to do it.

Password protection prevents a document from being opened without the password.
Locking an object (such as a text box or table) prevents the object of its contents from being altered without first unlocking the object. No password protection is available for this, though, so the recipient could easily unlock the object and change its content.
At least one of Adobe's PDF applications offers the features you want—non-editable base document with fields that can be filled by the user, then saved and the file returned.

I can not seem to password protect a pages document

I created a document with pages. I thought I had password protected it. However document is not requiring password to open.
I used password protect from the file menu of the document. I even changed the password but nothing sticks. What am I doing wrong?

When you choose File > Set (or Change) Password… if you always want a password challenge, even on your own machine, then do not check Remember this password in my keychain from the drop-down Pages password sheet.
If you did, you may have to remove the password, and subsequently re-add it following the above guideline.

Any idea how to password protect a pages document? (iwork09 version with mountain lion on macbook air)

Thanks much, just don't see it when I try to "save as" a pages document...

Sorry, clicking my old 08 icon was the problem. Found the 09 book manual and it works (from another commenter). Just not as user friendly as the "save as" function on a word document. First time Microsoft has trumped Mac yet.

Can you password protect a Pages document saved in Word format

Hi
I know how do do it for a Pages document, but when I try to save as a Word document it appears I can't. Is that not allowed?

I think they are just using different methods.

You can now password protect a Pages document...

It's in the Document inspector at the bottom. You can do this with Numbers and Keynote as well.
Now I can finally move my tests out of word...:) YAY!

the algorithm used for PDFs must be compatible with the Adobe's one.
There are two levels of encryption for the Portable Document Format. Older versions of the format can only use low bit encryption. Newer versions of the format can use either low bit or high bit encryption. Apple Mac OS X uses low bit encryption.
Apple Mac OS X has removed encryption when it was present. For instance, the Apple ColorSync Utility at one point could be used for this trick. There is a very, very, very respectable University in the United States with a public page on decryption for the Portable Document Format.
And then there is Elcomsoft, a company in Russia that sells decryption as well for low bit as for high bit. One argument is that in prepress, if a client by mistake has encrypted a printing master, there is a legitimate case for decrypting that printing master.
By the bye, as far as I can tell the implementation of low bit encryption in Apple Mac OS X is broken.

Is there any way to password protect a file/document in Pages?

Is there anyway to password protect a file/document in "pages" ?

To the best of my knowledge, Pages for iOS does not support passwording of documents.

How to password protect a numbers document

I'm trying to figure out how to password protect a numbers document.
My intention is to load this document onto a website, but only want authorized persons with the correct password to be able to access.
Any ideas??
Thanks

I am using Numbers 08
And the Numbers User Guide, supplied with iWork '08, make no mention of password protection, which was introduced in Numbers '09.
Looks like the best option is Wayne's second suggestion—open via File > Print > PDF > Open in Preview, then Save the resulting PDF document with encryption turned on.
An alternate, if you want the recipients to receive a copy of the Numbers '08 file, and to be able to edit that file, you could enclose it in a secure disk image file.
The basic procedure is to:
Use Disk Utility to create a new, blank, sparse disk image, assign a password and save.
Double-click the .dmg file (and enter the password when requested) to mount the disk image on your desktop, then Save a copy of your file to the (open) disk image.
When done, eject the image, and upload the (encrypted) .dmg file to the website.
Detailed instructions may be found in Disk Utility's Help files.
Launch DU (found in the Utilities folder in Applications), click the Help menu and choose Disk Utility help.
Go to the index, scroll to and click Security, then click a title similar to "Protecting confidential documents in a secure disk image." (a search on 'confidential' should also take you to a list containing that title.)
My version of DU is old enough that sparse images hadn't been introduced, or I'd post a copy of the article here.

Password protecting certain pages?

Hi —
Does anyone know if it's possible to password protect all pages bar your homepage? I'd like to be able to do this whilst I'm trying to update my site but still wanted visitors to be able to access my home page.
Thanks all.

You can password protect certain pages only with iTweak.
As stated by Wyodor , you also need to take a look at your host.
The most common way is to protect by .htaccess if supported by your host
Take a look at the tutorial of iTweak for password protect.
Good luck

Hi there,

On the File menu, click Save As.
On the Tools menu, click General Options.
Do either or both of the following:
If you want users to enter a password before they can view the workbook, type a password in the Password to open box, and then click OK.
If you want users to enter a password before they can save changes to the workbook, type a password in the Password to modify box.
NOTE   Unlike passwords you specify in the Password to open box, passwords you specify in the Password to modify box are not encrypted. These passwords are only meant to give specific users permission to modify workbook data. For optimal password security, it's best to assign both passwords. An encrypted password to access the workbook, and one to provide specific users with permission to modify its content. IMPORTANT   Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.
If you want to use a different encryption type, click Advanced, click the type you want in the Choose an encryption type list, and then click OK.
If needed, specify the number of characters you want in the Choose a key length box.
NOTE   Document property encryption is enabled by default for most encryption types and providers. It prevents unauthorized users from viewing summary and custom file properties (such as the author or any custom file information) in theProperties dialog box. When users right-click the password-protected file, and then click Properties, information won't be available on the Summary tab and Customtab. Authorized users, however, can open the file and view all file properties (Filemenu, Properties command). To disable document property encryption, clear theEncrypt document properties check box.
Click OK.
When prompted, retype your passwords to confirm them.
Click Save.
If prompted, click Yes to replace the existing workbook.
NOTE   You can also secure a workbook with a password on the Security tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu, Options command).

Password protect some pages in an iweb site

Just wondering if it is possible to password protect certain pages in an iweb site....
I have a phtography site that i use for more professional pictures, however I wanted to upload personal pictures and only have certain people be able to access the pictures on certain pages?
does anyone know if this can be done?
for example and person who visits my site may see all my work on photo page 1 and 2, however only restricted persons can access pages 3?
if anyone has any insight, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You can only password protect a site. So you can add another site, move the pages you want to it and password protect it. Then add a text based link to the second site.
An alternative could be to create an iPhoto Web gallery that's password protected and link to it from your site and have it open in an new window so it's easy to get back to your original site.

Copy and paste Java script for password protecting a page?

I need to password protect one page which I want to call my LOGIN page on a site I'm making in Dreamweaver CS5.5. Unfortunately I know that the hosting company I'm using does not have the ability to allow me password a single directory on the server end to accomplish this (I know STRANGE) .... SO
I found some code online - java script that I can just copy and paste into the <head> section of my page. This might be a silly question but is this a 'safe' way to do this? (I don't need anything fancy and the people whom will be accessing this page will all have the SAME password, so I don't need a registration form or anything fancier...)
Any thoughts?

Ugg I totally knew you would all say that (because I already knew that would offer me the easiest solution), change hosts and now I'm embarrassed to say that YES I am paying for the hosting; BUT, I have to explain that I'm with this hosting company because way back when I started that site I needed something super user friendly because I was just learning. Now I have learned more and have started to use Dreamweaver. I just stayed with the same hosting and will use FTP to upload my new more updated site. In the company's defense even though they do offer a way to FTP a site up, their main objective (I think) is to have a really easy way for people to get a site up without knowing anything about code or css or anything; and they operate under the assumption that MOST of their customers will be using their super easy software and not use FTP. That is why I think they are limited to what they offer, at least that is my take on it. My more recent sites do not use this company as I have tried to learn and 'move up'.
Anyway I guess if I don't want to switch hosting I still have the same problem. Is it really that difficult to make something that has just one use ID and password which would be the same thing for every person? Might be a great learning experience for me?
Yep it might be time for me to switch hosting.... sigh. What to do.....

Password protecting a pages doc

Is there any way to password protect a pages doc in the latest version included in iWork 08?
Thank you

PDF Encryption with MacOS X is not high security. It is good enough to hide Christmas shopping lists, but I would not recommend it for bank data. To get high (128 bit) security one has to use Adobe Acrobat Pro.
