generate password protected pdf file

[jurajsucik]

this is a request to add a new feature that would allow to generate password protected pdf file.

I don't think there's an option in Microsoft Word to save a document as a PDF with a password on both Windows or MacOS.

As this program relies on Word to make the changes such a feature would have to be implemented as a post-processing step in which case it probably makes more sense to implement outside of this tool.

Closing this issue but feel free to continue the conversation if there's any changes that need to be made to docx2pdf!

I understand. In that case it, are you able to add this as a post-processing step?
