You can try to use this program on the file.\nIt is called "Advanced PDF Password Recovery"\n\nhttp://www.elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.html\n\nMake sure you make a backup of the file, because this program will make the file only readable.  After running this program on your pdf file, you will not be able to print, or select any text or graphics.  All you are allowed to do is read it.\n\nI think there is a 30 day trial on this program, so you should be able to get the file working without having to purchase a copy of this program.

With Adobe Acrobat (not the free reader... the writing one), click File>Save As...\n\nAt the bottom of the dialogue there is a section called security. Click the drop down button, and select Standard. When you do this another dialogue appears.\n\nAt this point you have the option to enter passwords that will be required to open or change the security settings. If you do not enter a password in the open section, anyone can open it, but not necessarily change the document.\n\nYou will also have options to prevent printing, changing, selecting text/graphics, and adding annotation.\n\nWhen you click OK, then you will confirm your passwords, and then the document will save.\n\nVoila, a secure PDF document.

There is a way in PDF creator to lock/protect files from copy or change.\n\nNot sure what version you have, so can't give very specific answer.  But it would be under file or document - see the in-product Help.

Tools > Protect Document.  Choose Forms radial button, and enter a password.  You have to have set form boxes in the places for them to fill out their information.  The rest of the document outside of those form boxes will be protected.  Check the help files in Word for additional information.  It is all there.

I don't believe there is a way around the restrictions; they are placed there to protect the document.  Many e-books are security protected so they can not be copied or printed out.\n\nBut if you really really need a small portion of the document, you can take a 'screen shot' of the page or portion of the page you want, and save it as a jpg or bmp file to print.

First you can protect your folder in MSword with some passwords. So the option is while you save the file as the save as dialog box appears you click to options button and there you have the thing to protect your file via passwords. After that if you want the folder to be hidden the select the folder containing that file and then right click the folder and then select properties after which properties dialog box appears in that box you have to click the hidden field and then press apply or ok. And that's it even if it doesn't please you then you may opt for certain softwares to keep it hidden. But the catch is that it would cost you money.

You would have to see if the program you are using to make the PDF File supports password on it or not. Check the help on it. If not then your best option would be to put the PDF file in an Archive ( zip or rar ) Winzip and RAR allow you to put password on your files. So any one who would want to extract the pdf file would have to enter the password before reading it.

Go to Tools, Options, Security to set your password.\nWord passwords are quite weak and easily cracked by readily available tools. You'd be safer encrypting your document with something like WinZip with the AES encryption option or the excellent free PGP.
