One way around it is to insert the PDF into a Word document and then password protect the Word document�

To insert the PDF into Word:
In Word, go to the Insert menu and press �Object�
Click on the �Create From File� tab
Click on Browse and select the PDF file you want to protect
Click on OK to close the Object window
The PDF document is displayed in Word and if you double-click on the page it will open it in Adobe.

To password protect the Word file:
Go to the File menu and press Save As
Click on �Tools� at the top right-hand corner of the Save As Window and press �Security Options�
Enter the password and click OK, you will be asked to re-enter the password
Then press Save

You can delete the original PDF if you wish as it now exists in the Word document.
