This guide will help you how to add a password to PDF files. We are using a free software to convert files to PDF. Just download and use Primo PDF from ActivePDF to create our PDF files.
When you install Primo PDF, it appears as a new printer in your Print Menu. You can convert Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and any type of document to a PDF file by printing to the Primo PDF printer.
While there are many free PDF converters, this is the one we liked most – this alone creates password protected PDFs.
