How to password protect a document ?

Hello i want to put all my bank details in a pages document,so i will need to password protect it and i do not know how to,any suggestions please?
Thank you.

Hi!
Here is a link refering to the Help menu. _http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9679992_
In the Help menu you can also download the Pages User Guide. At the bottom of page 35, English version, you can read about password-protecting your document.
I find the Pages User Guide very helpful.

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.

How do I password protect a document in Pages Ver. 4.1

I need to change from MSWord to Pages in order to use the iCloud and can't seem to figure out how to password protect documents. The previous, older discussion it a bit to combersome -- certainly this issue must have been addressed with the newer versions. Any help will be greatly apprecitated. Larry

This may not be a real solution but it works for what I am using it for, accessing a long list of things, that I dont plan on editing: This does not work if yo are opening the document on your iPhone and plan on editing it.
So
I have mountain lion and Pages 4.2.
If I go to my Pages app on my iPhone, the document is there.
If you have used a password already to open it on your iPhone, it wont ask again (the problem) so you may need to delete it from iCloud (make sure you have a downloaded copy first), and then re-upload it to iCloud.
Then when you go to open it, it gives me a window
Open Document
This document may look different on your iOS device than on your Mac. Use open copy to preserve the original.
tap on the option "Open Copy"
Doing that calls for a password
you can read the document
close it, delete it (done as though you were deleting an app, touch on it for a few seconds, it starts wiggling, then hit the trash button)
that lets you access a copy the document, and keeps the original password protected.
really lame I know but works for what I am using it for.
kind of

Password protecting a document

How can I password protect a document in Pages so that only I can access it when I provide my password? Thanks!

p,
In iWork 09, we can apply a password in the Document Inspector, Document Tab. In iWork 08, we use Disk Utility.app to create a secure folder to save our work in. So, the file itself isn't protected, but access to the folder it is stored in is very secure.
To make a secure folder, start Disk Utility and click on New Image on the Tool Bar. Name the folder, select a Volume Size that's larger than you might ever need, leave the Volume Format on the default, set the Encryption to the lower number of bits (recommended), Single Partition, Image Format > Sparse Disk Image.
Don't forget your password because the encryption is such that you'll never crack it and your work will be lost with the password. If you use a secure User Account password to access your account on the computer, you can have Keychain remember your disk image password for convenience. If you carry your work around on a flash drive, you won't have to worry about anyone reading it if you lose the drive.

How 2 password protect ducments?

i am using text edit to save most of my important information and would like to password protect them. i want that a password is required to open the file, whether on a mac or window or linux. is it possible?
Neerav

Hey there,
One way to do this, is to encrypt the file as a Disk Image using Disk Utility. If you go that route, make sure that the file is set to read and write.
Another way is to add the Dashboard widget DashCrypt, which can be reached via the link below. Lastly, there are several third party applications that allow you to accomplish this task such as Crypt, which also has a link below. Hope this helps.

How to password protect numbers file on iphone?

How to password protect numbers file on iphone?
I've made a password protected numbers file on iMac and saved it to itunes.
When i open this file on my iphone for the first time i have to type in the password. But afterwards it's not protected anymore and i can open the file without the password!
How can i secure my files?

There is at this time no way to put a password in the Numbers app nor on a Numbers spreadsheet, and as Michael said it's not something a third-party developer could add. You can suggest that Apple add a password feature via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
or you can look for a third-party spreadsheet app that does allow password-protecting a sheet. Documents To Go from Dataviz is a commonly-recommended app that supports spreadsheets, but I don't know if they support passwording.

Is there a way to password protect iCloud documents?

Is There a way to password protect iCloud documents on my Mac and on iPad?

Roger not so fast. Check this out: I own a studio with about 8 staff ranging from accounts, editors, creative directors and client services. Sometimes, there's even an intern or an outside contractor present for a period of time. So far we use pages and numbers to handle all the scripts, schedules, shot lists, etc and I'd like to also store some of the admin contents (again, files generated in pages, begging for iCloud), proposals, budgets... They should at the very least, let you password protect a folder.
It's so surprising that Apple doesn't simply extend their now FANTASTIC App/iCloud/Device integration ever so slightly in the direction of the SMALL PRODUCTION HOUSE. I have thouroughly investigated everything from Studiometry to Rule to Evernote. Bloat. Bloat. And more bloat!
Apple while you're at it, offer domain name resolution so we can actually use the email service. Right now half my setup is tangled up with google apps and gmail. I shudder at the thought.
Ps I'd have separate apple accounts for each employee but nothing beats the single integration of iCal and contacts etc.

Password protected PDF document not opened with E7...

Dear all,
Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.
It is quite disappointing with this phone !

hi mateys,
you may want to search under "PDF" in the Nokia Store, as some solutions such as Picsel Smart Office exist, where they do open password-protected PDF's.

Password protecting scanned documents

I can password protect pdf files, but when I scan a document, it won't allow me to password protect it. When I do "Save as" it doesn't give me security options. When I "print as pdf" it will give me security options but once I put in the password and try to save it, it says it doesn't save in print mode. I think my scanner may be scanning into Adobe Reader? What do I need to do to password protect these documents?

Not impossible at all because it already had the password!
The point is that some apps can set a password. We can't look inside your computer and tell you what apps you have, and which ones you were using to make particular PDF files.
There are two different ways to have a password on a PDF.
1. At the time it is made. Some apps offer this choice. Adobe Reader does not make new PDF files, only reads ones you made before so this does not apply.
2. Later. Adobe Reader can read the file BUT NOT SET A PASSWORD. The Adobe Mac app that does this is called "Adobe Acrobat Pro XI".
