I've searched the internet looking for ways to password protect my PDFs using Adobe Reader XI and Microsoft Outlook Office 2010. Nothing seems to address how to do this. I came close with trying to change the security method going to file, properties then security tab. But my version does not have the drop down arrow with the security method to change to security password. any ideas?

    Reader cannot add security to PDF's. You would need Adobe Acrobat to do that.

    As with Adobe Reader, you look under File > Properties > Security. But this time you can change things. Select Password security.
