Starting in Office 2007, Microsoft provided the capability to create PDFs directly from all the Office programs.\u00a0 This was a boon for Office users as we no longer needed a licenced version of Acrobat or some third party product to create PDF files.\u00a0 Put the\u00a0PDF\u00a0or XPS<\/em>\u00a0button on the Quick Access Toolbar and a single click opens the dialog box to name the PDF.<\/p>\n

Most people have discovered this and use the feature regularly.\u00a0 Have you discovered, though, that in Word 2010 and Word 2013 you can password protect the PDF?<\/p>\n

In the Publish as PDF or XPS<\/em> dialog box, there is an Options<\/em> button at the bottom of the dialog box.\u00a0 Click on it and then select the last check box at the bottom of the dialog box: Encrypt the document with a password<\/em>.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Click on OK and you will be prompted to enter a password twice. Minimum number of characters is six.\u00a0 When you are finished, click on the Publish button to create the PDF.<\/p>\n

When you open the PDF you\u2019ll be prompted for the password.\u00a0 Oddly, this option seems to only be available in Word 2010 and Word 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
