Hello all,

I look for an option that allows me to create a protected file from a word doc.

On a regular basis I create pdf's from word. However, these pdf's are not protected and I need to do this manually every time. At least, I haven got a clue how to automate this.

Your help is appreciated.

If Windows, click on the Acrobat ribbon tab and click preferences.

You can also automate the process in Acrobat. I prefer this method since I like to review the PDF in Acrobat before I secure it.

Thanks for quick reply.

However, it is for MacOS.

Ideally, I create from a word doc.

eg I click on 'save as' or 'print' and then use 'adobe pdf' as tool. However, it doesnt look like it picks up on my Adobe settings.

Would have been good to know...

Open Mail and check the preferences to see if Outlook is set up as your default email reader.
