Here's how to Set Up Password Security with Solid Print PDF Solid Print PDF converts output from any Windows program into a PDF file. You can add security settings to the PDF file that will restrict access and editing. For example, you can require the PDF user to enter a password to open the document, or an owner password that will restrict printing, editing, and extraction of content from the document.
Note: Owner password may not be available if you are creating a PDF that can be viewed with earlier editions of Adobe Reader.
Step 1
Open Solid Print PDF
Open Solid Print PDF by selecting File|Print from the menu of your Windows program. Then, on the Name menu, select Solid Print PDF and click OK. The Solid Print PDF dialog opens.
