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.

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.

How do you remove the password from a pages document?

Hello, for the first time, I created a password for a pages document, and I blocked the document too.
I've tried to unblock and I can't, and I've tried to delete the password but I can't neither.
Every time I try, when I close the document tells me, oh sorry pages couldn't save the changes.
And it says, create a copy o cancel.
I've removed the copies but now I can't delete the password or even delete it, because it says I'm not allow to.
Please, help!!
I don't know what else can I do.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Password protect individual page?

Does iWeb '08 allow you password protect and individual page, rather than the whole site, as is the case in iWeb '06. This would be a nice addition.
Thanks!

Protecting a site with a password
If you publish your site to .Mac, you can require visitors to type a name and password to view your site. You can’t password protect individual pages.
Passwords are case-sensitive and must use 6—20 characters. They can include any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols, but can’t include spaces.
To create a password for a website:
In the sidebar (on the left side of the iWeb window), select the site or one of its pages.
If the Site Inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Site Inspector button.
In the Site Inspector, click Password.
Select “Make my published site private.”
Type a user name and password in the fields.
All visitors will use the same user name and password.
IMPORTANT: Don’t use your .Mac user name or password.
When you publish your website and click Announce, iWeb creates an email message—including the user name and password—that you can send to friends and family to let them know about your website.
To remove password protection from a site, deselect “Make my published site private” and republish.

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.

How to password protect a page or a file

Hello All,
Please help me,
Can you please let me know how can i Password Protect a page (or) a file which i have created using the Oracle Portal, i am working on 10.1.2 Version.
I would be thankful to you if you can provide me any sample URL's
Regards,
Kalyan Chandra M.

Hi,
Thanks you very much for the URL, i use .htaccess for protecting the files and folder for normal websites, but i am afraid to test it on Oracle Portal,
I found another link http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cut10.shtml
where we can protect a page using simple JavaScript, this solves my requirement, but when i
include the same function in <body onLoad()> then its not allowing me to Edit the page :(( .Can you help me out with a Tip...?
Or Do you suggest me a better alternative...?

Can I password protect an email I send?

I would like to send emails with attachments that can only be viewed by the receiver once they enter an agreed upon password. The password can be the same or different each time.

You cannot password protect an email message, but you can encrypt messages to the recipients key.

Alternatively you can possibly password protect a document and send it as an attachment, but protection may be weak.

Hi there,
i have Q i have excel file it need to be block with password. Could you please explain how i make password protect to Excel document

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).
