Macro to encrypt each PDF inside a folder
Hi all, I hope you have a good day.
I'm confused as to how to create a macro that could automatically encrypt all and each PDF in a choose-able folder with the same password. For example, there are 500 files in the folder that could be picked, each of them would be locked with Password in cell C4.
I think the choose-able folder can be done with msoFileDialogFolderPicker?
Can anyone help me on this? Thank you!
Just a simple sample to get files from specific folder.

Hi, jindon! Thank you so much for answering!
What about the code to encrypt the pdf files? Is there any possibility to create a macro to do just that?
Thank you!
I don't have acrobat product, so can not help you for that.
Not sure you can do it without paid third party software, another option might be to place the file inside a password protected zip file?
If things don't change they stay the same
Hi, jindon & CheeseSandwich, thank you for your replies!
CheeseSandwich, I do have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and PDFCreator though... is it possible to use this?
Thank you!
In Acrobat Pro batch processes are called Actions. You'll find them under Tools - Action Wizard.
Basically, you need to create a new Action, select the input folder, and then add an Encrypt command (under Protection), where you select the security method to be applied, including the password, and then a Save command.
Run the Action and your files should be protected.
Oh, okay CheeseSandwich, thank you so much!
