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.

Barry

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 a Pages document

How can I set a password protect on a document when saving it?

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 PDF document that doesn't let me change the security settings?

I want to password-protect my PDF document (so when I email it, it can only be opened/read by intended recipients as it contains confidential/sensitive information) but when I go into document security, I'm unable to change the Security Method (which is currently set to 'No Security' - not by me). There's a 'show details' icon but it's grey so I can't click on it. What can I do to protect this document from being opened by non-intended recipients?

Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader! That makes sense. Thanks so much for your reply. At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs. If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?

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.

How to get passwords working in Pages documents?

I've set a pages document to require a password to open. When I open the file, it opens without requiring this password. Any thoughts on how to get the password working? The doc is on icloud, could that be a factor?

Finally, I've added a new field movement in transaction GCF2 with sender tables ACCHD, ACCIT_GLX AND ACCCR. The joint venture name comes only from FI documents and not JVA documents, so, only JVA information of P&L accounts is available.
Best regards,

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.

Adobe PDF pack- Annual: How to add password protection to my documents now?

I purchased the paid PDF product in order to add password protection to existing PDFs or docx, but I still don't see an option for how to add it. I tried creating Docx and then creating PDF- but never got the option to add a password or security of any kind.
Please assist

Hi rachel.stewart,
In order to password protect your files, you need Adobe Acrobat. Please refer to the links mentioned below:

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.

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!
Scott

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.

How do I password protect a PDF document on a MacBook Air?

I am trying to password my PDF documents on a macbook. I don't understand why the help options are not assisting me. Can someone help me please?

If that doesn't work it may be that you don't have Acrobat. This is not the free Adobe Reader but something fancier.

I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. The number goes in OK but when I hit return or any other key the numbers get transposed. What happens and how do I corret it? Thanks

I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. It types in OK, but when I press return or close the document some of the letters in the password get transposed. What happens and how can I fix this? Thanks.

Are you just typing ordinary text into a word processing document or are you trying to set a password on the document itself?
If it is the first perhaps Pages is trying to spell check the password. You can tell it to ignore that "word", or turn spellchecking off.
