Question

Can you save a preset for settings for a secure PDF export?

I export hundreds of PDFs a day out of InDesign and want to see if there is a way to save a PDF export preset to save the presets for security settings so I can just type in the password. 

 

Maybe there is a JavaScript with Acrobat that could do this?

Or a batch action wizard?

You can use an Action to apply the same security policy to multiple files, yes.

But not through InDesign correct? This action is through Acrobat correct?

Yes, it's through Acrobat. I don't know if you can do it directly in ID. Try asking in the ID forum, perhaps.
