Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how to put a password for each PDF file ?
I have a following excel list which has the column "PDF file name" and "password", and I want to put those password for related PDF.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @S140

There is no direct action to protect the pdf file in Power Automate desktop and in Power Automate cloud- there are actions to secure the pdf but are paid ones-

If you are planning to do via Power Automate Desktop - try below script

Dim objWord, objDoc Dim inputPDF, outputPDF, password ' Set file paths inputPDF = "C:\Users\XYZ\OneDrive - MSFT\Document_Folder\Adatum 6.pdf" outputPDF = "C:\Users\XYZ\OneDrive - MSFT\Document_Folder\Adatum 6.pdf" password = "MySecurePassword" ' Create Word Application object Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") objWord.Visible = False ' Run in the background ' Open the PDF in Word Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(inputPDF) ' Save as PDF with encryption objDoc.SaveAs2 outputPDF, 17, False, "", True, False, password ' Close and clean up objDoc.Close False objWord.Quit Set objDoc = Nothing Set objWord = Nothing

Try and let me know if above script works !

Thanks & Regards,
Nived N
