How do you password protect multiple PDF files at once?
I have tried compressing the files into a zip folder and adding a password (with the compression tool built into XP), but after 4 days it was only about 30% finished and it came up with an error "Cannot create output folder" (the disk wasn't full).
I have Acrobat 9, which I can password protect one document at a time, but this would take days to complete.
Are there other ways to password protect large numbers of documents at once? (approximately 30,000 files)

I figured out that WINRAR will protect the entire compressed file, while the XP compression tool will password protect them individually (which keeps failing at different places).
I don't have a problem password protecting the entire directory which is already done, but the individual documents inside will be sent to different people without sending them the whole directory.
