Hi

I have 100 pdf files in a folder (without password protection). The respective file name and the password to assign are in a spreadsheet. Can I assign password to the individual pdf files based on the password in excel?

I have installed Acrobat Pro 9.0

Please help.

The only way to do this using a batch sequence is if you use the same password for each file.

Thanks Lori!

Just to check...

Can we use VBA to invoke assigning password to a PDF?
something like...
object1.SetPassword = "password123"
OR
Would scripting in "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2" help in accomplishing the above task?
