First, the two existing posts linked above have "solutions" marked which no longer work (at least for paid Acrobat - Standard monthly subscription they don't work). I've now tested the above "solutions" on 4 different PC's and 1 laptop with no success.
Aug. 3rd, 2023: In both Windows 10 Pro (latest version/all updates installed to date) and in Windows 11 Pro (latest version/all updates installed to date) and using "Acrobat - Standard" (paid monthly subscription; also latest version/all updates installed to date) Adobe's "Set fewer than six characters long password for a PDF" article is useless. Link to article: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/set-pdf-passwords-fewer-than-six-characters-long.html
The Action Wizard workaround requires upgrading from paid Acrobat Standard to paid Acrobat Pro (more expensive and includes extra features, which are useless to me). No thanks. I don't want to spend more money just to get a "workaround" solution. I need to be able to set 4-character passwords the way I have always been able to. Different users have different security needs. The user should be able to change an advanced setting to allow fewer characters if they understand the risk.
The Windows registry edit workaround mentioned in the article above doesn't work either. 
@ADOBE, please update Acrobat to include an Advanced Setting allowing users to decide how many characters they would like to require for their document passwords. Even if choosing less than 6-characters triggers a pop-up warning saying Adobe doesn't recommend this, but allowing the user to proceed if they choose to.
