I have tried reading the documentation, forums, and other places on how to set security on a pdf, but still have not figured what to do. I thought I would start easy, and just try to add a password to a document, but even that does not seem simple. Am i missing something? Any advice is appreciated.

I should have been a little more specific. I want to use Javascript to add security/encryption. Basically the same way the user can do a Advanced - Security - Enhance with Password.

Don't bother. What if someone disabled JS? Then they can just open your file without any problems.

Let me give an explanation, which i believe will help. I have a pdf that I want to (1) add watermarks to and (2) then encrypt. So, I will be running the javascript program, create a new pdf that is watermarked and has a password, and then distrubitue the file to other people. I have the watermark code working, but now need to add the security portion.

Sorry, I misunderstood.
If you have a pre-defined security policy then you can use this.encryptUsingPolicy()

Sorry for the delay, but i was out of the office. So, I went ahead and created a local security policy because that seemed the easiest. However, after I secure the doc, and watermark it, I can no longer save from within my program. I am using a privelegded saveas function.
At any rate, it's under File - Properties - Security.
