How to create password for PDF format?
I am trying to create PDF from Word doc with PDF Creator. Could you please tell me how can I limit access to my pdf doc with password? Thanks in advance!
Answers
right click on file and click zip than create a password
Depending if is is saved with "Save As" or "Print" command from File menu, you can probably adjust some kind of settings in there. For Print you can do Preferences and look around. For Save As, see if there is an Advanced tab or something similar.

Making it a zip file and password protecting it is not a real way to protect the pdf. If someone extracts it and then doesn't rezip and password protect it, the password protection doesn't exist, whereas putting it right in the pdf save or print with settings will ensure the pdf itself is protected.

I downloaded the trial and there isn't an easy answer from what I can tell. Depending on the version of Word you are using, you may be able to use an add-in right from Microsoft. The only one I have found that is free so far is for Office 2007 but it's right on the Office download site. I'll keep trying for you and repost if I find an answer.
