Expand the Advanced options of the action to provide a password for password-protected files.

I did enter the password in the Advance option but error still persisted.
When I tried to test another PDF without password, it worked though.

Seems like this is a bug. I suggest verifying you are using the latest version of PAD. If you are not, then update and try again. If you are (or if you tried updating and it still fails), then submit a bug report to MS support, so they fix it.
