Password protect PDF documents


Hello

I have Acrobat, but I was wondering if I can password protect PDF documents that I received by email. If so, can anyone tell how to go about it please?

Thanks much :-)

    How to access a PDF protected on a Kindle

    The major advantage for PDF files, is that you can distribute documents to a wide variety of platforms, including the Amazon Kindle. While the Kindle opens most PDF files without any difficulty, you can run in trouble if the PDF file has password protection applied. The Kindle will open PDFs protected by password, but not if the PDF file has digital rights management applied. Most of the models of Kindle cannot open DRM encrypted PDF files, but you can download an app, qPDF, to Kindle fire which allows you to open PDFs encoded with DRM.

    No - DRM Protection password: -.

    Step1 highlight the PDF file.

    Step 2 press the 5-way control to open the PDF file. If your Kindle is a touch screen, tap the PDF file to open it. This will open a dialog box that asks you the password.

    Step 3 type the password.

    Step 4 Select the 'OK' button and press the control button 5. Press the 'OK' button on the touchscreen models.

    Coded DRM of PDFs on the Kindle Fire: -.

    Step 1: click the "Apps" tab from the home page to open the applications menu.

    Step 2, click on the "Store" link in the upper right corner of the page to access the Kindle app store.

    Step 3 Type qPDF Viewer in the field "search".

    Step 4 press the "Free" button next to the qPDF online Viewer. The 'Free' button will change to "install".

    Step 5 press the button "install". The application will download and install to your Kindle Fire. When you are finished, you will see a button 'open '.

    Step 6 press the 'Open' button to launch the application.

    Step 7 tap the

    Step 8 press the "open" button to select a PDF file to open it.

    Step 9 tap on the PDF you want to open. You will see a dialog box asking you to enter a password.

    Step 10, type the password.
