adding password to PDF file
I have been trying to apply a password to a PDF but have been unsuccessful. I opened the PDF, Tools, Protect, then prompts me to buy a subscription of Adobe for $14 to be able to encrypt PDF’s. What should I do?

I can't say that it's the "easiest" or the "best" way, because I haven't tried everything that's out there, but I can say that it's easy and excellent...and free! I can also say that you can't do it with the free Adobe Reader...in the Adobe product family, you need the non-free Acrobat. The entire video is just five minutes, and begins with a non-password-protected PDF and ends with a password-protected one, so I'd say that's pretty easy. :) In fact, once you've installed the software, which should take just a few minutes, the actual password-protection task should take less than a minute.
