When sending any sensitive data through e-mail, including PDF files, make sure
to password protect or encrypt that information. Although this can be done in
Adobe Acrobat, below are steps on how to create a password protected PDF that prompts
for a password without having to purchase a program.
- Download and install PrimoPDF, a free PDF creator.
- Open the document or picture you wish to create password protected PDF for.
- Print the file. In the print wizard change the printer name from your printer to "PrimoPDF" and click Ok to start the PDF creation process.
- In PrimoPDF as shown in the below picture, select the quality of file, we suggest either "Print" or "Prepress" and then click the Change button for PDF Security.
- In the Password Security window check the box for "Require a password to open the document" and enter the password you wish to use and click Ok.
- Finally, click the Create PDF button to create the password protected PDF.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteAdobe makes both a PDF file viewer and a PDF file creator. Password protecting a PDF file helps you ensure that even if the document gets lost the content won't be available to anyone else unless you shared the password with them. Thanks a lot...
