Password protect my pdf docs ?

how do i password protect my pdf files ?

Hi,
You would be able to achieve this with the use of Adobe Acrobat.
Please download and test the 30 days Trial for Adobe Acrobat  : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=us

  • 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?

  • Why can't I password-protect a PDF that's been Enabled for Commenting in Acrobat Reader?

    What is the point of not being able to password-protect a PDF you have enabled Commenting in for Acrobat Reader users?
    We are testing out the option of using the "commented" PDF from the user's end (who just has Acrobat Reader). These PDFs we'll be sending are highly sensitive and need to be password-protected.
    We're using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS4, on new Intel iMacs running the latest updated Leopard.
    Help?

    You need to passsword protect the file before enabling commenting in
    Reader. Just don't save in between the two steps.

    you will have to take the help of Professional Pdf editind tools such as Nova pdf or the Full version of Adobe Acrobat i.e. Acrobat Professional ..
    also check the links below ..

    How to password protect PDF documents or files?
    Open the PDF file in Acrobat
    Select File > Document Security from the menu
    Got to the u201CSecurity Optionsu201D drop-down and select u201CAcrobat Standard Securityu201D
    Find the box labelled u201CPassword required to open documentu201D and place a check mark against it.
    Edit or type the password
    You can also add a password requirement for changing permissions or password.To add a a required password check the box against u201Crequired password to change permissions or passwordu201D and enter the password. However note that this password must be different from the one that you entered for securing or password protecting the PDF file.
    If you want your PDF document to be password accessible to users with previous versions of Acrobat Reader (versions earlier than 5.0), do not change the 40-bit encryption setting. However if your users or audience will be using version 5 or later versions of the Reader (or the full Acrobat program) then you may use 128-bit encryption.

  • Password Protection of PDF file generated thru SAP

    Hi,
    I have written a program to send payslip through email . This mail sends the payslip as a PDF attachment.
    I want to password protect that PDF document, so that it asks for a password before being opened by the employee.
    Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Sanchit

    Hi sanchit,
    1. The payslip passes thru SCOT
       settings,
       which in turn generates the PDF
       and sends mail.
    2. SCOT does not provide any such facility,
       for password protection.
    3. I don't think the password
       concept can be done in a normal fashion !
    regards,

  • 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.

  • Can you password protect an pdf Portfolio? Not a single pdf, but a pdf Portfolio.

    I know how to password protect individual PDF's. My quesiton is can one password protect an entire pdf Portfolio after assembling the Portfolio.

    I'm using Acrobat Pro 11.0.6, if it helps. I was able to find it at File > Portfolio Properties > Security > Security Method.
    This is what I was looking for, Dave. It prompts the user for the password when they try to open the portfolio.

    I am unable to password protect a pdf file. Any thoughts. I went to help and none of the options were available to me.. I pay for pdf conversion to word and excel

    Password protection is ONLY available with Acrobat Standard or Pro. The PDF to Word converter is just what the name implies... PDF to Word... No encryption, no protection.

  • What software do I need to password protect a PDF?

  • How do I password protect a pdf file - getting error messages?

    I'm trying to protect a pdf file (i.e. a tax return printed to PDF) with password to open and password to modify. However I'm getting an error message in a pop up window saying..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder." I'm using WIN 8.1. and I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (student / teacher version). This is a standalone PC so I can't imaging someone else is using this file. Also I've tried renaming and saving to a different folder (from the folder the original file is saved). I've also looked at properties of the PDF file and its not tagged as read only. Please advise if I'm missing something. Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for responding...I'm getting the same message that I got at first..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder."
    The next day I emailed the file to my work PC and encrypted it with no problems. I have WIN 7 and am using Acrobat 8.0 there. So the problem seems to be with my new PC here at home (i.e. WIN 8.1 and Acrobat XI). Frustrating. I'm betting its some obscure setting in WIN or Acrobat, that is way over my head. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks again.

  • Will Standard Edition of Adobe Acrobat allow password protection for PDF files or do I need to purchase Acrobat Pro?

    I need to password protect PDF files in an office environment. I was wondering if I need Adobe Acrobat Pro or would the Standard Edition suffice? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Standard is sufficient.

  • Can I password-protect a PDF file?

    I'm trying to set up a site with a 'members-only' area that
    contains PDF files. Is there some way to password-protect the files
    themselves, or do I need to settle for a protected php page that
    links to the files. While it's unlikely that a non-member would be
    able to guess the filenames, it's possible that an ex-member who's
    username and password have been removed would still be able to
    access the files with a bookmark, as they're not protected.
    I understand that short of a commercial product to convert
    pdf to html, I'm stuck with the pdf format, but is there some way
    to embed the pdf within a html page?

    You can actually create files and store them with different
    names, so as
    they can't be downloaded conventionally ...
    In most Windows, and I am assuming PHP setups - you can store
    files above
    the root and use a page to call them ...
    You protect them too - I think on a blanket (all instances of
    the file have
    the same password) approach is easier ...
