If you’re cool with using an online tool to add password to PDF, there are also websites like Sma11pdf or PDF2Go where you can upload your PDF, set a password, and then download the protected version. I’ve used Sma11pdf a few times, and it’s pretty straightforward.
- Go to the Website: Open Sma11pdf in your browser.
- Upload Your PDF: Drag and drop your file into the designated area.
- Set Your Password: Type in the password you want to use. You might have to confirm it by entering it again.
- Download the Protected File: Once your PDF is processed, download the newly protected version to your computer.

I’ll admit, using online tools to add password to PDF can be a little nerve-wracking for sensitive information, but the convenience is hard to beat if you’re in a hurry. Just make sure you’re on a secure connection!
