PDF Reader provides 2 ways for you to add password protection to PDF files:

 

Encrypt PDF (to the current PDF)

 

1. Open a PDF in PDF Reader (Please note that PDF Reader will automatically create a new copy in the app when you open a PDF with PDF Reader)

2. Click the “Security” button on the toolbar and then choose “Encrypt” from the menu
