When dealing with business documents, it's most important to know how to keep them safe. Security holes are very common, and you never know when someone will get their hands on a valuable business report. Because of this, you need to know how to keep your papers safe. You can turn any document into a secure PDF, no matter its format.
How To Protect PDF Documents with Password
Open the PDF in PDF Converter and choose a conversion type, like Word. Click on Select All Pages in the right column. Click Convert now. You need to convert your PDF file to Word first because PDF Converter can protect PDF files with a password when they are being made. In other words, you need a file that is not a PDF, so you can make a PDF and put a password on it.
Here's how to password-protect a PDF file once you have a Word file. Click on File in PDF Converter and then go to PDF Creation Options. Check the box next to Secure PDF on the Security tab. In the Owner and User fields, type two different passwords. Uncheck the boxes to stop the file from being given different permissions. Click OK when you're done.
You may first choose Save as default or Save to File if you wish to utilize the same file permissions for additional protected PDF files. The only difference between these two choices is that the first one will make the default settings you changed. The second will save the template with your settings, so the next time you want to secure a PDF with the same file permissions, you can click the Load from file button.
The last step is to click the Create button, open the file you want to convert to PDF, then click the cancel X in the file's upper-right corner. You will be asked to save the encrypted PDF. All you have to do is click the Save button.
How to protect a Word file

How To Protect Google Sheet With Password
Google Sheet doesn't have a way to protect a document with a password, but only people with your email address can see it. If someone gets into your email account, he can see the file. No one can see it if you don't, and your document is safe.
To keep your Google Sheet even safer, download it as a Word file and then turn that Word file into a secure PDF. First, select Download as Microsoft Word from the File menu. Then, open the PDF Converter, click the File menu and click on PDF Creation Options. Follow the action above to add a password to a PDF file. Once you have set up two passwords and limited file permissions, you can open a Word file with the Create button in PDF Converter. The last action would be to click the "X" button to close the file and save the secured PDF.

Protect a PDF in Adobe using a Password
Adobe is the best software for editing PDF files and keeping them safe. Even though you can secure a PDF without a password, we recommend using one for more security. We'd recommend Adobe over other third-party software if you want to password-protect a PDF file.
Adobe comes with features that you won't find in PDF editing software from other companies. Some of these features are the ability to work with different formats, the ability to edit graphics, and the ability to work together online. With a password, you can also set up your security features for a PDF.
Want to know how to use Adobe to password-protect a PDF file? Well, it's a pretty easy thing to do.
Step 1: Open the PDF, click "Tools," then "Protect," then "Encrypt," and finally "Encrypt with Password."
Step 2: When asked, click "Yes" to change how security works.
Step 3: Click "Require a password to open the document" and type the password in the field that appears. There will be a measure that shows how strong the password is. You can now password-protect PDFs.
Step 4: Go to the "Options" menu from the "Compatibility" menu if you want to send the document to someone. Choose a version of Acrobat Reader that is the same as the recipient has.
So they'll know how to protect PDF files without a password. You can choose between "Encrypt All Document Content" and "Encrypt All Document Content Except Metadata" for the encryption setting. Then hit "OK."
Adobe can only protect PDF files up to a certain point. If you use a password to protect a PDF file with Adobe, the data will be safe, and you won't lose any data because no one can get into the documents.
