Hi larry_6074,

Thank you for reaching out.

PDF encryption is the process of scrambling a PDF's content into an unreadable format, while password protection is a security feature that uses a password as a key to unlock access to the document. For more information on securing PDFs in Acrobat, please refer to the information in the following document: https://adobe.ly/46lOy9b. 

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
